1. A method for characterizing a near field illumination effect of a light source, the method comprising:
capturing, and correlating with a distance- and orientation-specific location of a multi-dimensional image sensor set relative to a light source, a set of illumination values forming an image of the light source and including an illumination value for each one of a plurality of image sensing elements in the image sensor set, and repeating the capturing and correlating for a plurality of different distance- and orientation-specific locations of the image sensor set relative to the light source;
storing, in a processor accessible electronic memory, a plurality of the images of the light source each including a set of the illumination values and being correlated with a one of the plurality of distance- and orientation-specific locations of the image sensor set;
producing a multi-dimensional representation of a near-field light distribution of the light source by processing the stored images and their correlated distance- and orientation-specific locations of the image sensor set relative to the light source, utilizing a multi-dimensional near-field illumination reconstruction algorithm that combines the stored images and their correlated distance- and orientation-specific locations together with interpolated images for additional distance- and orientation-specific locations of the image sensor set; and
storing the multi-dimensional representation in the processor accessible electronic memory.
