Radiometry vs. photometry<br />

Holst [1998] defines the term <strong>radiometry</strong>, as the<br />

“energy or power transfer from a source to<br />

a detector”<br />

while photometry is defined as<br />

“the transfer from a source to a detector<br />

where the units of radiation have been<br />

normalised to the spectral sensitivity of<br />

the eye.”<br />
