<strong>of</strong> each patch using a spectrophotometer – a Gretag Macbeth Spectrolino (see ap-<br />
pendix C.4). The measurement range is from 380nm to 730nm by steps <strong>of</strong> 10nm.<br />
Comparable devices cost about 770,- to 1300,- Euros, depending on the s<strong>of</strong>tware<br />
included and additional functionality. Though, we assume that a similar device is<br />
available at each facility that develops a physically based rendering engine, as it<br />
is necessary to obtain the spectra <strong>of</strong> surfaces and light sources that are required as<br />
input data to the rendering process. To speed up the process <strong>of</strong> measuring a chart,<br />
we obtained a GretagMacbeth SpectroScan T (see appendix C.5) <strong>for</strong> automatic<br />
measurements. Each spectrum was converted to XYZ space and then to L ∗ a ∗ b ∗<br />
color space, using D50 as light source.<br />
