ABSTRACT:
In the method for measuring the illuminance of a vehicle lamp according to the present invention, an image of the light emitted from a headlamp and projected onto a screen is picked up for every pixel, by an imaging device, to detect a gradient of each pixel; an illuminance of the light incident upon illuminance sensors disposed in predetermined positions correspondingly to the screen is detected by each of the illuminance sensors; a function or correlation diagram showing the relationship between the illuminances and gradients is generated based on the gradients corresponding to as many illuminances thus obtained as the illuminance sensors; and the function or correlation diagram is used to detect the illuminance at a position on the screen, the position corresponding to the desired pixel.
