Studies for the reduction of lighting energy have been done using technologies such as user and location awareness. However, the focus of current research on location-based lighting control has been on energy reduction, which can lead to other issues including an imbalance in indoor illumination. This study proposes a lighting control system applying general illumination and technology for user and location awareness. The proposed lighting control system reduced lighting energy by 72.1%, 66.5% and 62.3% for 1, 2 and 3 users, respectively, compared to the On/Off lighting control system. This lighting control system causes an increase in lighting energy of 35.8% and 10.9% for 1 and 2 users compared to the lighting control system with user and location awareness, while a reduction of 9.4% was seen for 3 users. This means that the proposed system provides more effective energy reduction for a room with multiple occupants as it is based on the general lighting control scheme. The lighting control system applying general illumination and technology of user and location awareness improved the uniformity factor by 32.0%, 39.4% and 33.4% for 1, 2 and 3 users, respectively.

Most surgery illumination systems have been developed as passive systems. However, sometimes it is inconvenient to relocate the position of the illumination system whenever the surgeon changes his pose. To cope with such a problem, this study develops an auto-illumination system that is autonomously tracking the surgeon's movement. A 5-DOF serial type manipulator system that can control (X, Y, Z, Yaw, Pitch) position and secure enough workspace is developed. Using 3 ultrasonic sensors, the surgeon's position and orientation could be located. The measured data aresent to the main control system so that the robot can be auto-tracking the target. Finally, performance of the developed auto-illuminating system was verified through a preliminary experiment in the operating room environment.

In this study, we utilized the duty factor of the transition frequency modulation (TFM) for the illumination control of the light emitting diode (LED) light in visible light communication (VLC). The average optical power is linearly proportional to the duty factor in TFM waveforms. We used the transition frequencies of Na=5 and Nb=1 for the high and the low bits, respectively, of the non-return-to-zero (NRZ) data in the VLC transmitter. A resistor and capacitor high-pass filter (HPF) was used in the VLC receiver to eliminate the 120 Hz optical noise from adjacent lighting lamps and the spikes at the HPF output were used to recover NRZ data from the TFM waveform. In experiments, the illumination of the LED light was controlled in the range of 25-90% of the constant-wave optical power by changing the duty factor of the TFM waveforms.

Real-Time object tracking has emerged as an important component in several application areas including machine vision. surveillance. Human-Computer Interaction. image-based control. and so on. And there has been developed various algorithms for a long time. But in many cases. they have showed limited results under uncontrolled situation such as illumination changes or cluttered background. In this paper. we present a novel. computationally efficient algorithm for tracking human face robustly under illumination changes and cluttered backgrounds. Previous algorithms usually defines color model as a 2D membership function in a color space without consideration for illumination changes. Our new algorithm developed here. however. constructs a 3D color model by analysing plenty of images acquired under various illumination conditions. The algorithm described is applied to a mobile head-eye robot and experimented under various uncontrolled environments. It can track an human face more than 100 frames per second excluding image acquisition time.

The studies published up to now, related to the correlation between spatial structure and visitors' behavior in a museum are rather relatively lacking when it comes to the in-depth consideration for the effect of the actual exhibition environment. So the main purpose of this study is to define the correlation between the light environment and the visitors' behavior. Towards this end, this study uses 'space syntax' to quantify the spatial structure with 'integration', 'connectivity' and 'control value'. Meanwhile, 'tracking score' and 'tracking frequency' were selected as the scope among the indices of behavior's analysis. The results of this study are as follows; First, integration and correlation of tracking score and tracking frequency are lowest when it comes to the extra large historical museums where the difference of intensity of illumination by each convex space. Meanwhile, the most considerable effect is exerted by control value. Compared to tracking score, tracking frequency is closely related to 'syntactic variables'. Second, visitors do not take the short cut the dark exhibition space even when very dark exhibition spaces continue after passing through relatively bright space. Analysis of visitors' behavior by control value in the exhibition space composed of this type of intensity of illumination environment is not valid. Third, visitors move to relatively brighter transitional space compared to the exhibition space with low intensity of illumination when passing through dark exhibition continually. Meanwhile, when visitors pass through the exhibition space there is some difference intensity of illumination they move to relatively dark exhibition center among the subsequent exhibition spaces. Accordingly, when the composition of exhibition space that continues onto the environment of low intensity of illumination is inevitable, differentiating intensity of illumination appropriately would be effective in inducing visit to the subsequent exhibition space.

In the normal office building, the energy consumption to maintain the reasonable intensity of illumination for the work by using the artificial illumination occupies 30% or greater of the whole building electric energy consumption. If the dependability of the artificial illumination is dropt by positively using the natural lighting from the outside, the large amount of electrical energy can be saved, in addition the more nice visual environment for work can be created. Daylight is lighting source that most closely match visual response of the human, because sunlight and skylight achieve the harmony. For this reason, the daylight of small amount than amount of the artificial lighting source also can give the same effect in work activities of human. In addition, if there is daylight at the window of the building, the energy can be saved by controlling the artificial lighting. In this paper, in the building using the photovoltaic power generation analyze the correlation between the amount of energy generated by photovoltaic and indoor illumination and this was proved through the simulation with Relux 2010. In addition, the amount of daylight inflow in the room and distribution was drawn by the equation and the ratio for the sectional dimming control of each lighting equipment was predicted and the energy saving amount according to this was calculated. As a result, the indoor illumination was satisfied with recommended illumination value of the office and consumption power could be reduced approximately with 20~70%.

In this paper, we introduce a new method for controlling the illumination of LEDs in visible light communication (VLC) by changing the duty cycle of Manchester code. When VLC data were transmitted in Manchester code, the average optical power of the LEDs was proportional to the duty cycle. In experiments, we controlled the illumination of a $3{\times}3$ LED array from 10% to 90% of its peak value by changing the duty cycle of the Manchester code. The synchronizing clocks required for encoding and decoding the Manchester code were supplied by pulse generators that were connected to a 220 V power line. All pulse generators made the same pulses with a repetition frequency of 120 Hz, and they were synchronized with the full-wave rectified voltage of the power line. This scheme is a very simple and useful method for constructing indoor wireless sensor networks using LED light.

The chlorophyta and thebryophyta are became extinct by the shutting out the light and low temperature in caves. Whenever they get the conditions, they grow again immediately. It is necessary to keep the illumination distance over 2m and use the indirect light. The effect of lamp light and temperature is very important in the control of green contamination but the water and moisture in caves are essential factors in green contamination in the show caves. It's better to get rid of green alae and mosses at early stage for the control of the increase of green contamination. They must be isolated completely without the dispersion with moist pieces of cloth or sponge. It is necessary to shut out the cave route periodically for the restoration of cave environments and ecosystem. It's better to use the lamp keeping illumination and restricting the ascension of heat for the control of green contamination.

Lighting in the tunnel makes for safe driving of cars taking into account of change in perception arisen in the sight of drivers of cars entering into and passing tunnel, drivers' mental reaction and unique circumstances of a tunnel. There are many variables to satisfy safe driving in the tunnel. Since tunnels are mostly located in the mountainous area and illumination at the approach part differs largely depending on the surrounding circumstances, a standard different from that of common lighting is applied. An accidentin the tunnel, which involves same danger as in underground, may lead to a large mishap. Therefore, control by sensors inside and outside of tunnel ensures prevention of an accident through control of illumination at the approach part and inside of tunnel. It is very important in the aspect of saving energy since such control is available to reduce depreciation factor resulted from early excessive intensity of illumination.

LED 조명은 IT융합 시대로의 진화에 따라 단순조명에서 인간중심화 및 다기능화 시스템 조명으로 발전하였다. 이로 인하여, 다양한 센서기능, 통신기능 등의 IT기술과 응용소프트웨어와의 융합을 통하여 사용 환경 변화에 따른 조명 제어로 에너지가 절감되고 빛의 세기와 색 조절 등 다양한 사용자 중심의 맞춤형 조명이 요구 되고 있다. 이러한 지능화된 시스템 조명을 위해서는 사용자 중심의 센서 적용 및 제어가 가능해야한다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 LED 조명관제를 위한 유무선 통신 플랫폼 및 관제시스템을 제안하고자 한다. LED 조명 관제 시스템은 Bluetooth 매쉬 네트워크를 통해 데이터를 송수신하며, LED 조명 제어, LED 조명 상태 모니터링, 에너지 사용량 모니터링, 에너지 피크점 관리 등의 기능을 제공한다. 제안한 유무선 통신 플렛폼과 관제시스템을 통해 LED 조명의 수명 연장 및 에너지 절약 등이 가능할 것으로 기대된다.
