Double integral of a dot product error

I'm tring to solve a double integral in matlab where two dot products are evaluated, but an error arieses.

The code is:

light_dir = [-0.6626;0;-0.7490];
camera_dir = [-1;0;0];

R = sqrt(2/(4*pi));
x_c =@(theta,phi) R.*sin(theta).*cos(phi);
y_c =@(theta,phi) R.*sin(theta).*sin(phi);
z_c =@(theta) R.*cos(theta);

normal =@(theta,phi) [x_c(theta,phi); y_c(theta,phi); z_c(theta)];

fun = @(theta,phi) (dot(light_dir,normal(theta,phi))).*(dot(camera_dir,normal(theta,phi))<0).*R^2.*sin(theta);

intensity = integral2(fun,0,pi,0,2*pi);

The error is:

Error using dot (line 39)
A and B must be same size.

Error in Image_processing (line 246)
fun = @(theta,phi)
(dot(light_dir,normal(theta,phi))).*(dot(camera_dir,normal(theta,phi))<0).*R^2.*sin(theta);

Error in integral2Calc>integral2t/tensor (line 228)
        Z = FUN(X,Y);  NFE = NFE + 1;

Error in integral2Calc>integral2t (line 55)
[Qsub,esub] = tensor(thetaL,thetaR,phiB,phiT);

Error in integral2Calc (line 9)
    [q,errbnd] = integral2t(fun,xmin,xmax,ymin,ymax,optionstruct);

Error in integral2 (line 106)
    Q = integral2Calc(fun,xmin,xmax,yminfun,ymaxfun,opstruct);

Error in Image_processing (line 248)
intensity = integral2(fun,0,pi,0,2*pi);

Do you have any suggestion to let it work?

integral2() assumes that the function handle is able to accept matrix inputs. However, the fun() function in your code does not work correctly with matrix inputs. The following codes shows a quick fix using arrayfun

light_dir = [-0.6626;0;-0.7490];
camera_dir = [-1;0;0];

R = sqrt(2/(4*pi));
x_c =@(theta,phi) R.*sin(theta).*cos(phi);
y_c =@(theta,phi) R.*sin(theta).*sin(phi);
z_c =@(theta) R.*cos(theta);

normal =@(theta,phi) [x_c(theta,phi); y_c(theta,phi); z_c(theta)];

fun = @(theta,phi) (dot(light_dir,normal(theta,phi))).*(dot(camera_dir,normal(theta,phi))<0).*R^2.*sin(theta);

intensity = integral2(@(THETA, PHI) arrayfun(@(theta,phi) fun(theta, phi), THETA, PHI) ,0,pi,0,2*pi);
