A novel high-dynamic range (HDR) camera-based approach to measure the cumulative daylight dose in historic/conservation spaces has been devised and tested in a real-world setting under normal viewing conditions. The technique derives illuminance from the HDR-acquired luminance at numerous patches of the wall surfaces visible in the HDR image. These patches serve as proxy illuminance meters, thereby allowing the prevailing illumination field across the entire visible wall to be derived using a Kriging algorithm. The technique was validated under both controlled and in-situ conditions over periods of several months and shown to have comparable accuracy to the illuminance logging devices commonly used in historic/conservation settings. The set-up comprising a consumer digital camera and tethered computer proved remarkably resilient and allowed for continuous monitoring periods of six months or more. Application in a real-world setting revealed operational practicalities that would not have been found in a controlled environment.
