I don't have any android experience, but you can easily calculate luminosity like so...

1) Splitting image into R, G, B values, something like b, g, r = cv2.split(img)

2) Average the b, g, r values over the entire image --> b_avg = average(b)

3) compute luminosity w/ the following equation: double luminosity = r_avg*0.299 + g_avg*0.587 + b_avg*0.114

from this tutorial:

"The reason these values are weighted is because pure red, green and blue are actually darker/lighter than each other, with green being the darkest and blue being the lightest."

I do not agree that the luminosity is the same as luminance; see this

@thdrksdfthmn interesting. thanks...I've removed that portion of the answer

@l3an your answer still show solution for finding luminance and not luminosity. Anyway I'm not sure what the OP wants regarding his own tags for the question

that was a typo; fixed

Still disagree, because you are actually computing luminance, as when converting from RGB to YUV color spaces

luminance = luminosity / m.squared. So the asker just needs to multiply the luminance value by the area being photographed? or the area of the lens? please explain @Lorena GdL instead of just telling me that I'm wrong

?? where is m.squared? what is it? was there a comment edited or deleted?

@thdrksdfthmn there wasn't any deleted comment. I don't know what that came from either
