The illuminationatapointP’onthedocument pages is inverselyproportional to thedistanceofpointP’ fromthe lightsourceL.The illuminationat pointP’ is computedwith the followingequation: IP′= I0( l0 (l0+ρ(1−cosφ))) 2 where I0 is the original intensity, l0 thedistancebetween thedocument glass and the light source L, and φ the angle between the normal at P’ (where the page is curved) and the normal to the glassdocument.
