An imaging sensor-based intelligent Light Emitting Diode (LED) lighting system for desk use is proposed. In contrast to the traditional intelligent lighting system, such as the photosensitive resistance sensor-based or the infrared sensor-based system, the imaging sensor can realize a finer perception of the environmental light; thus it can guide a more precise lighting control. Before this system works, first lots of typical imaging lighting data of the desk application are accumulated. Second, a series of subjective and objective Lighting Effect Evaluation Metrics (LEEMs) are defined and assessed for these datasets above. Then the cluster benchmarks of these objective LEEMs can be obtained. Third, both a single LEEM-based control and a multiple LEEMs-based control are developed to realize a kind of optimal luminance tuning. When this system works, first it captures the lighting image using a wearable camera. Then it computes the objective LEEMs of the captured image and compares them with the cluster benchmarks of the objective LEEMs. Finally, the single LEEM-based or the multiple LEEMs-based control can be implemented to get a kind of optimal lighting effect. Many experiment results have shown the proposed system can tune the LED lamp automatically according to environment luminance changes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
The increasing concern on intelligent lighting designs for better life quality calls for the studies on thermal lighting environments. Given this background, this study investigated the effects of various ambient environmental settings on the physiological responses, psychological responses and work performance of subjects. A total of eight male university students performed a non-work task (30 min) and a work task (60 min) in various thermal lighting environments. The experimental conditions included a combination of five correlated colour temperatures (CCT) and two indoor temperatures (Temp). The galvanic skin response, heart rate, skin temperature, subjective evaluations and work performance were measured. The results showed that the ambient environments of CCT5000 and CCT6500 °K at 30 °C and CCT4000 °K at 28 °C significantly affected subjects' physiology and psychology in both work and non-work tasks. The future lighting environment designs may refer these findings of the present study. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Light exposure before sleep causes a reduction in the quality and duration of sleep. In order to reduce these detrimental effects of light exposure, it is important to dim the light. However, dimming the light often causes inconvenience and can lower the quality of life (QOL). We therefore aimed to develop a lighting control method for use before going to bed, in which the illuminance of lights can be ramped down with less of a subjective feeling of changes in illuminance. We performed seven experiments in a double-blind, randomized crossover design. In each experiment, we compared two lighting conditions. We examined constant illuminance, linear dimming, and three monophasic and three biphasic exponential dimming, to explore the fast and slow increases in visibility that reflect the dark adaptation of cone and rod photoreceptors in the retina, respectively. Finally, we developed a biphasic exponential dimming method termed Adaptive Light 1.0. Adaptive Light 1.0 significantly prevented the misidentification seen in constant light and effectively suppressed perceptions of the illuminance change. This novel lighting method will help to develop new intelligent lighting instruments that reduce the negative effect of light on sleep and also lower energy consumption.

The rapid iterative development of information technology, computer technology and Internet of things technology promotes the construction of smart city, and the related concepts of smart city gradually move from theory to practice. As an important part of the development of smart city, the intelligent lighting and intelligent control of urban lighting system become increasingly urgent with the development of the latest Internet of things technology and video image processing technology. Based on the current Internet of things data communication and related processing technology as the background, this article constructs the overall control model of smart city lighting system, including GPRS wireless transmission technology and ZigBee technology. In the core algorithm, this article innovatively presents an improved video image processing technology based on Gaussian mixture algorithm, which mainly describes the background of a specific scene in multi-dimensional model, so as to improve the reliability of the whole scene judgment. At the level of noise suppression, the video image processing algorithm proposed in this article designs interference noise suppression technology based on the principle of mean filtering, so as to achieve the accuracy and integrity of urban traffic scene extraction. In order to solve the security problems of the whole video image processing technology in information extraction, storage and analysis, this article adds the electromagnetic information leakage prevention algorithm in the video image processing technology, which mainly processes the video image at the source, so as to reduce the electromagnetic radiation of the overall information. Based on this, this article completed the construction of the software and hardware of the city intelligent lighting system. On this basis, the software and hardware construction of urban intelligent lighting system is completed. At the same time, the experiment was carried out in a small-scale scene of a city. The experimental results show that the intelligent urban lighting system based on video image processing technology is feasible and can achieve the desired effect. At the same time, the lighting energy consumption level can be reduced by about 30%, and the corresponding failure rate can be reduced by about 30%.

In the ongoing decade, port logistics in Europe have been exposed to intense competition. Especially container ports experience competition not only for ships but also for supply chains. To adapt to this trend, terminal operators are improving the efficiency in port logistics through, among other things, automation of port operations. Most of these efforts concern processes handling shipped goods. Instead of concentrating on these well-researched improvements, we explored the feasibility and economic potential of an intelligent lighting control system. Often automating handling processes need high investments in hard- and software. This smart lighting system is supposed to control demand-actuated outdoor lights in a harbour environment. In this research, movement profiles of straddle carriers and infrastructural data were gathered and refined to build a model of the observed container terminal. The modelled infrastructure includes the position of every lighting tower and its illuminant as well as their specific power consumption and the respective area, which those lights illume. To control these lights, we developed a control algorithm. We investigated through simulation experiments the power savings for this autonomous lighting control system. Multiple influential factors of this control concept were evaluated by varying the parameterization of the algorithm. A gathered data set, containing trajectories of operating straddle carriers during full terminal utilization, is the basis for the mentioned experiments. The results of varying the utilization rate of the terminal have identified a relationship between capacity and percental power consumption, in the form of a root function. The more straddle carriers run, the less the overall power consumption is increasing. Using the intelligent light control system on full utilization saves 14.67% of the total energy. In the case of 80 % terminal utilization, 18.22 % of total energy is subject for saving effects. Besides these results, we were able to explore the influences of the algorithm parameterization on the energy savings and could assess these solutions economically.

A smart city is a city that uses information and communication technologies (ICT), smart sensors, actuators and video cameras to better support and optimize the delivery of urban services and to address challenges within city communities. A smart city collects and analyzes data from smart IoT sensors (IoT devices/nodes) and video cameras. The data collected by the sensor nodes can be used to develop applications and systems that benefit the city and the community. Smart city industry is projected to be a $400 billion market by 2021, with 600 cities around the globe expected to generate 60% of the world's GDP by 2025, according to McKinsey research. Many cities have adopted at least one smart city project. However, the majority of cities around the globe are not yet smart cities. The key hurdle is securing the huge fund needed to start a smart city project, and ensuring that there are sufficient resources to sustain the project over time. Because implementing new smart city infrastructure is a large and complex financial undertaking that poses a financial hurdle, specifically, for most of the under-developed countries, a viable and cost-effective strategy is needed to tackle this problem and conquer the digital divide. Building upon and leveraging existing infrastructure is the key to address this problem. This minimizes the cost of technology upgrades and allows for an easier integration process. In addition, leveraging existing infrastructure can give cities a better and quicker return on investment. The main objective of this work is to devise an innovative research and development initiative, which builds upon and leverages ongoing global deployment of smart city and outdoor lighting infrastructures trend, to explore the potential and assess the feasibility of gradually transitioning existing Egypt’s cities infrastructure into truly IoT-enabled smart cities. Specifically, we propose and develop an innovative cost-effective, future-proof, scalable and modular end-to-end device-to-cloud connected outdoor Lighting network infrastructure solution that is based on P2P 4G LTE cellular technology to provide the direct connectivity between lighting poles (IoT devices) and the cloud. The proposed intelligent Lighting solution includes three key building blocks:1) light pole-mounted smart control nodes; 2) cloud-based smart city software solution (NetServ) to remotely monitor, manage, and control the entire lighting infrastructure; and 3) P2P 4G LTE cellular network. In the proposed architecture, smart streetlights serve as the framework for a high- bandwidth, low-latency wireless sensor network, capable of transporting large amounts of data in real-time, while concurrently supporting deployment of a wide range of smart city services.

This paper presents best practices of selected rural areas development through the implementation of intelligent, energy-efficient lighting. Polish villages usually do not have established a complete technical infrastructure. As a rule, new roads are built without the accompanied lighting, which is due to economic reasons. Looking for savings local authorities often turn on lights only for a few hours in the evening and early morning. Smart investment implementing LED lighting system enables the lighting of roads and streets throughout the night, while reducing the energy costs by more than 50 %, which has a significant impact on the finances of poor rural communes. The article describes the system procedure for setting up the power network in Poland in terms of the legal and technical aspects of rural development. Moreover, economic benefits from the completed projects of intelligent lighting are identified. The article is a description of the best practices and emerging needs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A face recognition system which uses 3D lighting estimation and optimal lighting compensation for dark-field application is proposed. To develop the proposed system, which can realize people identification in a near scene dark-field environment, a light-emitting diode (LED) overhead light, eight LED wall lights, a visible light binocular camera, and a control circuit are used. First, 68 facial landmarks are detected and their coordinates in both image as well as camera coordinate systems are computed. Second, a 3D morphable model (3DMM) is developed after considering facial shadows, and a transformation matrix between the 3DMM and camera coordinate systems is estimated. Third, to assess lighting uniformity, 30 evaluation points are selected from the face. Sequencing computations of LED radiation intensity, ray reflection luminance, camera response, and face lighting uniformity are then carried out. Ray occlusion is processed using a simplified 3D face model. Fourth, an optimal lighting compensation is realized: the overhead light is used for flood lighting, and the wall lights are employed as meticulous lighting. A genetic algorithm then is used to identify the optimal lighting of the wall lights. Finally, an Eigenface method is used for face recognition. The results show that our system and method can improve face recognition accuracy by >10% compared to traditional recognition methods.

Conventional luminaires applied to the public lighting system cannot perform communication, control, and management features. Thus, intelligent lighting emerged way of providing management and control of the entire interconnected system, ensuring reliability, cost savings, and high efficiency. Therefore, this research work presents the development of an intelligent public lighting prototype based on a simple light controller. The system aims to improve this process by addressing some parameters, such as lighting power and saving light through a pedestrian presence sensor. The implementation of the public lighting system is based on LEDs because it provides low energy consumption. Besides, this research also provides an economic analysis of the proposed device to evaluate its applicability and possible benefits. The results proved the efficiency and flexibility of the proposed smart device. The use of the proposed prototype, along with the replacement of less efficient technologies by LED luminaires, generates an economic return that varies between 33.25 - 427.84 R$/year; leading to a return on investment of 24.16 % to 937.02 % at the end of the system’s useful life.

Major energy losses in existing materials handling warehouses are due to the continuous operation of lighting system even when they are not required. In addition to that, identifying the number of switchboards available in each of those warehouses is difficult. During fire accidents in those industries, identifying the exact number of workers trapped inside the room is a tedious process. In this work an attempt had been made to reduce the energy wastage by developing energy efficient intelligent lighting system. The intelligent light control system is used to switch ON or OFF of the light automatically based on the presence of the workers. A high-resolution camera is placed at the entrance of the room to monitor the real-time human transit. If the upper body of a human entry is captured, the pixels will be sent to the laptop through the Ethernet cable. Once, it has been detected the controller gets triggered and gives the power supply to the relay setup which makes switching on of the lighting system. Alternatively, voice control module was also introduced in this system to overcome any problems exists during the operation. The results had shown that the implementation of the proposed system could result in up to 35% saving in energy spending. By introducing this proposed system in industries like cold storage warehouses, carbon footprint on the environment can be saved.

- Abstract
Light emitting diodes (LEDs), with their ability to produce tunable light spectrums, present a significant opportunity to improve on existing lighting systems. They can be applied to smart and specialized lighting, which can be highly beneficial in the residential, commercial, and industrial sectors. In this paper, we present a novel closed-loop control algorithm with feedback from a spectral sensor, which allows the light output spectrum to converge toward a target spectrum. The control system was experimentally validated by the hardware implementation of a wireless smart lighting system with the eight tunable LED channels with different dominant wavelengths (450–650 nm) designed to cover a large portion of the visible light spectrum. Experimental results show a near perfect replication of target spectra, with an accuracy within 5% for the correlated color temperatures and Euclidean distances which fall well within a five-step \mathrm u^\prime v^\prime unit circle.

The aim of the article is to present and analyze the implementation of intelligent lighting within the concept of smart energies and smart cities. Motivation and research hypothesis: Electricity consumption in the world is based largely on non-renewable energy. Until these full changes, it is necessary to look for opportunities to save and use it efficiently. Today’s cities are increasingly implementing the smart concept, of which smart energy is one area. One of the smart city elements implemented by cities is smart energy. Within this framework, a supported concept is the replacement of traditional lighting with LEDs (Light-Emitting Diodes), which contributes to energy and cost savings and reduces the pollution of the sky with artificial light, while increasing the efficiency of urban lighting. Positive effects of modern solutions include reduced lighting expenses and increased safety of residents. Methods and results of the research: The authors chose the case study method for their research. The authors present forecasts for the development, not only from the point of view of the number of lamps but also the cost efficiency pointing out the importance of this element in the context of building smart cities. These are specific benchmarks for cities that have not yet implemented this concept. Conclusions and interdisciplinary implications: solutions are desirable directions for the development of the smart city concept, bringing benefits and reducing external costs. Considerations show a quantitative development forecast and an indication of the possibility of achieving trade-offs and cost reductions. It translates into meeting the requirements of sustainable development providing tangible benefits. The analysis of the case studies is intended to show the effects that can be achieved and the wide range of applications (indicating that modern lamps are not just lighting, but a platform for urban services). The analyses presented are intended to serve as benchmarks showing the possibilities of reducing costs and increasing the quality of life of residents in modern cities. The indicated examples and analyses are of economic importance, they show managers, but also inhabitants, in which direction they should lead the smart city concept, which will allow saving costs, but also to increase the quality of life of inhabitants.

The idea of smart lighting has emerged over the years in commercial and industrial environments, with a focus on energy saving. With the advancement in technology, smart lighting can now offer opportunities in addition to energy saving to users in home environments for the provision of a comfortable atmosphere and the maintenance of user well-being. Currently, research in the smart lighting field is predominantly dedicated to energy saving in non-residential environments; meanwhile, the residential environments have not been explored. Therefore, a literature review was conducted to provide an overview of smart lighting systems’ effect on energy and well-being in the residential environment. Current research is mostly limited to designing and developing a smart lighting system in a controlled environment, with a limited evaluation of well-being and comfort. The review shows that residential smart lighting application possibilities and opportunities are not widely and thoroughly explored.

A new approach has been proposed to improve the performance of the in-telligent lighting system by estimating personal illuminance and desired color temperature at the workplace. We are considering the problem of using the sensing devices manually for the intelligent lighting system. The lighting control system has not become useful without sensing devices to measure the provided illuminance and color temperature. In this paper, we have used the property of light for the color temperature to estimate the level of color temperature for each user at the workplace. The new method will give personal illuminance for each user at the workplace and decrease the power consumption of the environment as well. As a result, the proposed method of the intelligent lighting system has realized the target of illuminance and color temperature for each user at the workplace by adapting dimming levels using illuminance sensing information for each user. Thus, the energy of the workplace has reduced by using a distributed luminance to realize the target for each user.

Lighting is a fundamental requirement of our daily life. A lot of research and development is carried out in the field of daylight harvesting, which is the need of the hour. One of the most desirable attributes of daylight harvesting is that daylight is available universally and it is a very clean and cost-efficient form of energy. By using the various methods of daylight harvesting, it is possible to attain the global Sustainable Development Goals. Daylight harvesting in the most fundamental sense is the lighting strategy control of the artificial light in an interior space where daylight is also present so that the required illumination level is achieved. This way, a lot of energy can be saved. Recently, in addition to energy efficiency, other factors such as cost-efficiency, user requirements such as uniform illuminance, and different levels of illuminance at different points are being considered. To simulate the actual daylight contribution for an office building in urban Chennai, India before construction, ECO TECH software is used by providing the inputs such as building orientation, and reflectance’s values of the ceiling, wall, and floor to analyze the overall percentage of daylight penetration available versus the percentage prescribed in the Indian Green Building Council to obtain the credit points. Thus, the impact of architectural design on daylight harvesting and daylight predictive technology has experimented with office building in Chennai, India. This article will give an insight into the current trends in daylight harvesting technology and intends to provide a deeper understanding and spark a research interest in this widely potential field.

With the development of society, the problem of energy shortage and environmental pollution is becoming more and more prominent. However, the phenomenon of permanent lights still exists in office buildings. At present, the lighting power consumption accounts for about 10% of the total power consumption in China. Therefore, it is necessary to research and develop intelligent lighting control systems asy to implement for energy-saving. Meanwhile, it is necessary to make full use of natural light sources to meet the demand of office illumination. In this paper, the intelligent dimming algorithm forlighting group control is studied, which transforms room size and the location information of lighting & work station into two-dimensional coordinate data on the lighting plane. According to the illuminance contribution value and illuminance superposition law of point light sources in a certain work station, the linear programming optimization algorithm is used to calculate the dimming coefficient of each lamp for meeting the illuminance demand of each office work station and with the energy consumption of indoor lighting as the optimal objective as well. The simulation results show that compared with the existing lighting control methods, the proposed illumination control scheme can effectively meet the illumination requirements of offices, and save more than 30% energy.

This paper applies the Manchester code to encoding and decoding as the research and development direction. Because the DALI (Digital Addressable Lighting Interface) communications protocol's packets use Manchester code, it is detect the logical state of edge transitions to decode and encode, instead of reading the high/low level of the signal, so it can't be processed with common NRZ (Non Return Zero Code) code. At present, there is no single controller for encoding or decoding Manchester code on the market, if the manufacturer develops and designs by itself, the company must have engineers with DALI's work experience, and it will take time to carry out complex algorithm development. In order to reduce personnel costs and development time, general lighting manufacturers will choose to purchase commercially available the DALI master and the DALI slave to use with original equipment manufacturer's software. This will cause the DALI slave cannot be integrated with the power supply of the LED luminaire, and the control interface will be limited to the original factory. (For example, DALI master of manufacturer A needs to be used with the software interface of manufacturer A.) Therefore, this paper develops a set of algorithms to complete the encoding and decoding of Manchester code, and independent develops the master and slave of DALI-2, so the DALI-2 slave is easy to integrate with the luminaire power supply, and can also be used with the self-designed software interface to control the DALI-2 master. The development of a DALI-2 intelligent lighting control system from software, firmware and hardware design is not only has highly expandability, but also has the advantage of high design flexibility, and can be integrated with the IoT (Internet of Things) in the future.

Two important research topics within this field are machine learning and human-system interaction. This paper introduces a pilot smart space implementation on top of a Wireless Sensor and Actuator Network (WSAN) infrastructure that is specifically intended to investigate these two aspects. We investigate a scenario built around an office breakout area context. We describe the infrastructure setup, the novel user interfaces, the network architecture and the message exchange policies of the pilot implementation.

- Abstract
The concept of intelligent lighting facilitates the use of machine learning models to adapt the lighting application behavior based on changing context. Ideally, a complete dataset without missing values is used to train the learning algorithm. Nevertheless, it is common to have missing data values in the dataset, e.g. due to lack of rich enough user interfaces such as smart phones. In this paper, we study various probabilistic approaches to treat missing feature values in a dataset collected from an office breakout area. This dataset is used to train the learning model to provide intelligent lighting solutions. We evaluate the performance of five different approaches by simulation, using four rule-based classification algorithms and various proportions of missing data. We find that none of these approaches gives best performance over the necessary range of conditions, and that an adaptive strategy is more suited. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

- Abstract
Research has shown that environment lighting influences the behavior of the employees in an office setting highly, making lighting configuration in an office space crucial. A breakout area may be used by the employees for various activities that need to be supported by different lighting conditions, e.g. informal meetings or personal retreat. The desired lighting conditions depend on user preferences and other contextual data observable in the environment. In this paper, we introduce a new method for building prediction models to provide intelligent lighting in our pilot breakout area. Based on a set of pre-defined features that are expected to have influence on the users' choice in selecting a desired lighting environment, we introduce a probabilistic model for generating synthetic data. We also discuss and compare the performances of various rule-based classification models on the synthetic data and find ‘DecisionTable’ to be the most suitable model for our pilot implementation. We study the influence of the training set size (number of samples) on various classification models and the influences of individual features through simulations. We present empirical results based on the synthetic dataset and a roadmap for future research. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

Fischer, Michael, Wu, Kui, and Agathoklis, Pan
- Abstract
Lighting in commercial office environments is a major factor in workplace comfort, productivity, and stress. Modern work environments strive to improve these conditions by better selection of luminaires (fixtures), wall, floor, and furniture colour and texture, and intelligent lighting control that ensures that occupants each receive the proper amount of light needed at their workstations for the task at hand. Daylight infiltration is generally good for occupant comfort, and provides opportunities to "harvest" this daylight and save energy on electric lighting, provided that it is harnessed in a way that it does not over illuminate or cause glare. Building an intelligent lighting control system is challenging due to incompatible or sometimes conflicting lighting preferences from adjacent people or areas. Some office environments can be additionally challenging because of complex geometries, time-varying nondeterministic daylight contributions through windows, and glare. Here we address the challenges of meeting users' individual lighting preferences using a highly accurate illumination model to enable balancing the various lighting requirements among spatially grouped task areas, while minimizing the energy needed to do so (and in the future, minimizing the number of wireless sensors needed for this application). We propose an illumination model-based method and algorithm for intelligent open-loop lighting control, and present the results of a simulation study using a simplistic virtual room model to demonstrate the validity of our method. Daylight infiltration is to be addressed in future work. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

(eds.), Recent Advances in Marine Geology and Environmental Oceanography. Journal of Coastal Research, Special Issue No. 108, pp. 144–150. Coconut Creek (Florida), ISSN 0749-0208.The marine ship lighting system is a significant unit of navigation to improve the safety of the crew. The traditional oceangoing voyage lighting power system has low efficiency, delays in troubleshooting times, and high energy consumption in the detection of fault points. Based on the Internet of Things (IoT) and automation, the authors proposed an intelligent lighting power detection method to ensure the safe, efficient, and stable operation of the oceangoing voyage. Specifically, in the distinct lighting and dynamic circuit multifault environment of the oceangoing voyage, the illumination detection time limit of a traditional lighting power system and the proposed intelligent lighting system were compared; the current and voltage values of the intelligent lighting system were measured and analyzed. This method proved to be effective in detecting a variety of faults of an oceangoing voyage lighting system and has fast and stable performance as well as high accuracy. Therefore, the proposed method can effectively avoid unexpected accidents caused by power lighting failures and improve the green energy-saving performance of oceangoing voyage lighting systems.
