Energy efficient camera-based lighting control

The main purpose of the project is to develop a new avanced camera-based lighting control for regulation of artificial lighting compared with day light, the presence and light contradistinction conditions in a room. The intention is to reduce the energy comsumption for lighting contemporary with the visual environment is improved due to the control is based on light distribution. The developed camera-based lighting control consists of a camera and software. The software is used to analyse pictures and afterwards regulating the light distribution in the room. The control is intended to be used for energy renovation of existing lighting systems and in the future comply with upcomming needs and demands for control of new complex lighting systems consisting of LED. With the existing lighting comtrol products in the market today it is possible with the use of both sensors for presence and day light control in a certain room the saving estimation is between 20-50 %. This full automative camera-based lighting control is expected to achieve the same saving potential and contribute with a better light environment.
