Benjamin Polovič (2014) Light Meter for iOS devices. EngD thesis.
Abstract
A light meter is often used in photography to ensure precise light measurement, which enables the photographer to capture a perfectly exposed photo. There was no major breakthrough in this area for a long time, the professional light meters are still large and expensive. That is why we decided to make a more affordable light meter for use with iOS devices. This light meter has a small footprint, connects through the audio jack fo the iOS device and provides the same precise light measurement as a professional light meter. This thesis focuses on the software, it describes the whole process of the developement of the application and concentrates on the communication between the light meter and the iOS device. Just like a professional light meter, our solution enables the photographer to capture a perfectly exposed photo, with a better user interface and additional functionalities, which include saving a note with information about used photo parameters.
