Interior Lighting Calculation using Monte-Carlo Method

몬테카를로법을 이용한 실내조도 계산

A computer program to calculate the illumination distributions of a room interior was made. The room has a light source with arbitrary intensity distribution. The program follows the paths of the particles from the light sources, and the illumination distribution is calculated by repeating this following to many particles. Monte Carlo method is applied to the decision of the direction of the particle from light source, and the new direction of the reflected particles. Making simulation program on this basis, illumination distributions were measured for various light sources and wall surfaces tocertify the calculated results. As a results, it is known that the calculated distribution would be correct if the size of the light source is sufficiently smaller than the size of the room.
