RESUMEN
This paper describes three datasets which include 443 folders and approximately 4430 images. The images were obtained from the interior of a 1:50 scale model using a fisheye camera connected to a Raspberry Pi microcomputer. This dataset aims to analyze the photobiological effects (visual and non-visual) of the interplay between coloured surfaces and different types of lighting strategies. The experiments were conducted under three types of light sources: simulated daylight through a mirror-box artificial sky simulator, direct daylight, and an electric lighting system that allows for colour temperature modification. This dataset includes low dynamic range images to generate high dynamic range images, which in turn can be used to plot false colour maps concerning photopic luminance, melanopic luminance, CCT of an image, M/P ratio, and brightness distribution maps. This dataset can be useful for architects, interior designers, and building engineers to integrate lighting and colour strategies according to the visual and non-visual needs of the users. This research was partially used in the research of Espinoza-Sanhueza et al. [1,2]. The datasets are published and shared through a Mendeley repository [3].
RESUMEN
This paper details an imagery dataset of interior and exterior ambiances to assess and represent photobiological outcomes of the built environment in northern territories. The images were obtained using a Raspberry Pi Camera Module (RPiCM) mounted in a holder that fixes the camera in place. This holder allows to rotate the camera by 30° and take 12 high dynamic range (HDR) images which are then combined to create a panoramic image. The HDR images enable the calculation of photobiological effects concerning photopic light intensity for vision, and the spectral dominance regarding vision and circadian stimulation. This dataset includes 13 captures in 7 interior and 6 exterior settings, each divided into 4 subfolders containing the photographic data: the sequence of low-dynamic range images (LDR), the tone-mapped images obtained from the HDR calculation, the analysis of photopic luminance and false color, and 360° panoramic images (tone-mapped HDR, false color luminance, and spectral dominance). Each space is also supplemented with photometric data presented as a .csv file containing lux and EML units obtained via a radiometer. This dataset is valuable for architects, designers, and neuroscientists to identify opportunities for enhancing human-centric lighting in existing architecture and landscape, as well as to propose solutions that promote vision and circadian stimulation in northern territories. This research was partially used in previous studies from [10]. The dataset is published and shared through a Mendeley repository [9].
