Thermal images of an object are produced outdoors so as to be significantly differentiated temporally and/or geometrically and be inclusive of natural background such as would be illuminated by sunlight. A calibration of the thermal imager (e.g., radiometer) against theoretical blackbody radiation is effected using measured incident radiation, resulting in a calculated pixel intensity. A system transfer function calculation of the pixel intensity is effected, resulting in a radiance. A matrix inversion calculation of all of the radiances considered together is effected, resulting in a bi-directional reflectance distribution function (BRDF). Advantageously, the BRDF is determined from the target in a direct but mathematically-enhanced manner, thereby making economic use of natural illumination and obviating the need for modelling, simulating or reconstructing the target.

A daylighting system comprising one or more light redirecting elements and a horizontal slat Venetian blind. The light redirecting elements are inserted between the slats of the Venetian blind and are supported between the slats and the outer strings of the Venetian blind. Each light redirecting element is a thin strip of reflective material formed into an angle section. The upper arm of the angle section reflects sunlight upwards through the Venetian blind and deeply into the interior of the building. The side arm of the angle section reflects sunlight back out of the window. The reflecting surface of an upper arm of a light redirecting element is treated to reflect light diffusely into a narrow angular range. The reflecting surface of a side arm of a light redirecting element is treated to reflect light diffusely into a wide angular range. The daylighting system is installed in the window of a building to redirect sunlight on to the ceiling of the building to improve natural illumination in the building.
