Detailed Description

The aim is to get on the screen something which is perceptualy accurate, ie. to compress high dynamic range luminance to CRT display range. The class perform mainly a fast implementation of the algorithm from the paper [1], with more accurate values from [2]. The blue shift formula is taken from [3] and combined with the Scotopic vision formula from [4].

Important : you may call setDisplayAdaptationLuminance() and setWorldAdaptationLuminance() before any call to xyYToRGB() or adaptLuminance otherwise the default values will be used. (they are appropriate for a daylight sky luminance)
