 The dimension of color space that captures the intensity of light.

A basic visual sensation describing the amount of light that appears to emanate from an object, or more precisely, the luminance of an object

Although the terms "brightness" and "luminance" are often used interchangeably, they are different. Luminance is the light intensity; brightness is how it is perceived by the human eye.

The degree of luminance or light intensity in an image or a scene. Pure white has maximum brightness; pure black the minimum.

An attribute of visual perception in which a source appears to emit a given amount of light. Note 1: "Brightness" should be used only for nonquantitative references to physiological sensations and perceptions of light.

A technical measurement of the light reflected back from a paper.

Brightness is a term that describes the intensity of light. Light bulbs are rated for brightness by their wattage levels.

1. A term used in video monitor technology to modify how much voltage is sent to the display area of the monitor or screen, making the background and foreground images lighter or darker. Used with contrast to make the display more viewable. 2. A printing term that refers to the reflectance and whiteness of a sheet of paper. Higher brightness papers [..]

The value of a pixel in an electronic image, representing its lightness value from black to white. Usually defined as brightness levels ranging in value from 0 (black) to 255 (white). Buffer

In photography, light reflected by the copy. In paper, the reflectance or brilliance of the paper.

One of three basic dimensions (along with hue and saturation) of light perception. Brightness varies from dark to light. See Figure 10.23.

1. The perceived amount of light that a visual target emits or reflects. Its relative luminance. 2. The amount of white in a given color. The greater the amount of white, the brighter the color is sai [..]

The apparent intensity of light. Often a synonym for intensity [KEL93]

A measure of the overall intensity of the image. The lower the brightness value, the darker the image; the higher the value, the lighter the image.

A measure of the amount of electromagnetic radiation from a celestial object. it is expressed as a magnitude, which can be either apparent, whcih depends on an object's intrinsic luminosity and its distance from the detector, or absolute.

a term mostly used in a qualitative way, related to the output power and beam quality of a laser; quantitatively: synonymous with luminance

(n) the location of a visual perception along a continuum from black to white(n) intelligence as manifested in being quick and witty(n) the quality of being luminous; emitting or reflecting light

nitor, nitor

Characteristic of paper referring to how much light it reflects.

A measure of the whiteness of pulp and paper.

Characteristic of paper or ink referring to how much light it reflects.

Light-reflecting property of paper or pulp. Brightness measurements compare paper and pulp with a reference standard (measured on a scale of 1 to 100 where 100 represents the reflectance of magnesium [..]

Value of a pixel in a digital image giving its value of lightness from black to white, with o being black and 255 being white.

Strength of the sensation that results from viewing surfaces from which the light comes to the eye.

The luminance of objects. The brightness of any area of the subject is dependent on how much light falls on it and how reflective it is. Brightness range is the relationship we perceive between the light and dark subjects in a scene. Brightness contrast is a judgment of the relative measure of that range, such as high, low, or normal. Brightness va [..]

A measure of the intensity and clarity of an image.

increasing of image brightness (offset)

The attribute of visual perception in accordance with which an area appear to emit more of less light. (Luminance is the recommended name for the photoelectric quantity which has also been called brightness.)

The luminous quality of a color along a continuum from pure black to pure white.

Brighthness is a discreet measurement that indicates the distinction in luminance from the darkest area of a picture to the lightest area of the picture. In addition, Brightness describes the relative value of a color, in that the higher the brightness value the closer the color is to white.

The value of a pixel in an electronic image, representing its lightness value from black to white. Usually defined as brightness levels ranging in value from 0 (black) to 255 (white). Buffer

In NTSC and PAL video signals, the brightness information at any particular instant in a picture is conveyed by the corresponding instantaneous direct current level of active video. Brightness control should be adjusted so that the black picture content displays as true black on your monitor.

The lightness of a colour or tone, regardless of hue or saturation.  

The value of a pixel in a digital image in reference to lightness. A black pixel is represented as "0" while a white pixel is represented as "256."

An optics and appearance attribute of visual sensation by which an observer is aware of the differences in luminance or lightness and saturation.
