Overview

Built around engineering photometry workflows

IntensityView is a photometric data application for opening, inspecting, editing, comparing, and reporting luminous intensity distributions. It is designed for lighting engineers, optical designers, and product teams working with measured or simulated luminaire data.

The workspace focuses on the practical tasks around intensity files: import and export, view-based inspection, false-color visualization, photometric modification tools, roadway and indoor calculation reports, colorimetric reports, and quick metrics for selected luminaires.

View modes

Inspect distributions from every useful angle

Switch between visual, numeric, and projected views to understand beam shape, angular data, selected sections, and rendered illumination behavior.

Sphere View

Display selected distributions on a photometric sphere for beam shape, symmetry, color data, and focused C/gamma direction checks.

3D View

Inspect the luminous intensity distribution as a spatial shape and compare selected distributions in different rendering modes.

2D Map View

Analyze the angular distribution as a false-color map with cartesian and projection-style views for dense visual inspection.

Table View

Review selected photometry as precise numeric table data for detailed inspection, copying, and supported edits.

Illuminance View

Calculate and plot illuminance on a selected projection plane to compare beam behavior at a specified distance.

Isocandela View

Show equal-intensity contours to inspect beam spread, peak intensity, and contour shape.

Polar and Cartesian Diagram

Plot selected photometric sections as 2D curves for comparing planar sections, conic sections, and peak-direction behavior.

Rendered Illuminance View

Render apparent illumination and color appearance on a projection plane for visual surface inspection.

Edit modes

Prepare and correct photometry without leaving the workspace

Use structured editors for metadata, geometry, resolution, alignment, smoothing, scaling, combination, and packaged multi-emitter photometry.

Properties

Edit core photometric quantities across selected intensity distributions, including batch edits when multiple photometries are selected.

Property Fields

Manage structured luminaire and intensity metadata for file-format, report, manufacturer, lamp, optical, and regulatory fields.

Photometry Type and Resolution

Change coordinate type, symmetry, and angular resolution while previewing the resulting data structure.

Geometry Editor

Edit luminaire body geometry and emitter geometry with a live 3D preview for selected photometry.

Rotation

Rotate selected distributions and compare before/after data before applying the update.

Symmetrize

Apply symmetry to selected intensity distributions with a preview of the resulting photometric data.

Automatic Alignment

Correct small goniophotometer mounting and orientation errors by searching for a rotation that better matches expected symmetry.

Smoothing and Denoising

Reduce measurement noise with Gaussian smoothing while preserving the overall photometric shape.

Scale

Widen or compress selected distributions independently along horizontal axes for controlled beam-shape correction.

Combine

Create a combined photometry from selected distributions for multi-emitter or lens-variant workflows.

Photometry Packaging Builder

Manage photometries inside multi-emitter documents for modern luminaire and BIM-oriented formats.

Reports
