An integrated light management system with real-time light measurement and human perception
share
Illumination is important for well-being, productivity and safety across several environments, including offices, retail shops and industrial warehouses. Current techniques for setting up lighting require extensive and expert support and need to be repeated if the scene changes. Here we propose the first fully-automated light management system (LMS) which measures lighting in real-time, leveraging an RGBD sensor and a radiosity-based light propagation model. Thanks to the integration of light distribution and perception curves into the radiosity, we outperform a commercial software (Relux) on a newly introduced dataset. Furthermore, our proposed LMS is the first to estimate both the presence and the attention of the people in the environment, as well as their light perception. Our new LMS adapts therefore lighting to the scene and human activity and it is capable of saving up to 66 quantify,without compromising the lighting quality.
