scene.tar.gz:

scene files including geometry, weather, materials, views and sensor points. See README.rst for details.

reference_values.tar.gz:

result metrics calculated on reference images in 4 ways:

ref: using evalglare 3.02 with default values
refBS: using evalglare 3.02 with default values on images processed with humanblur.sh (in archive)
refrt: calculated numerically on pixel by pixel basis (no glare source grouping) with 2000 cd/m2 threshold
refrtBS: same as refRT, but solar source size is corrected accounting for point spread of typical human eye
