We present the design and implementation of a unique sensing and actuation application -- the Illuminator: a sensor network-based intelligent light control system for entertainment and media production. Unlike most sensor network applications, which focus on sensing alone, a distinctive aspect of the Illuminator is that it closes the loop from light sensing to lighting control. We describe the Illuminator's design requirements, system architecture, algorithms, implementation and experimental results. The system uses the Illumimote, a multi-modal and high fidelity light sensor module well-suited for wireless sensor networks, to satisfy the high-performance light sensing requirements of entertainment and media production applications. The Illuminator system is a toolset to characterize the illumination profile of a deployed set of fixed position lights, generate desired lighting effects for moving targets (actors, scenic elements, etc.) based on user constraints expressed in a formal language, and to assist in the set up of lights to achieve the same illumination profile in multiple venues. After characterizing deployed lights, the Illuminator computes optimal light settings at run-time to achieve a user-specified actuation profile, using an optimization framework based on a genetic algorithm. Uniquely, it can use deployed sensors to incorporate changing ambient lighting conditions and moving targets into actuation. Experimental results demonstrate that the Illuminator handles various high-level user requirements and generates an optimal light actuation profile. These results suggest that the Illuminator system supports entertainment and media production applications.

BACnet(Building Automation and Control networks) is a standard data communication protocol designed specifically for building automation and control systems. BACnet provides five options for datalink layer protocols and these five datalink layer options can be applied with various transmission media. Recently wireless technology prevails in automation area. ZigBee is a standard protocol based on IEEE 802.15.4 for low-speed wireless communication network. In this study, we propose a BACnet/ZigBee model that uses ZigBee wireless technology in a BACnet communication network system as a wireless datalink layer protocol. We also applied this model to a lighting control system to evaluate the feasibility of proposed technology. The technology proposed in this paper can extend the application of BACnet not only for building automation but also for home automation by taking the advantages of ZigBee wireless communication technology in BACnet communication network systems.

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.

This paper proposes a method to detect calibration patterns for accurate camera calibration under complicated backgrounds and uneven lighting conditions of industrial fields. Required to measure object dimensions, the preprocessing of camera calibration must be able to extract calibration points from a calibration pattern. However, industrial fields for visual inspection rarely provide the proper lighting conditions for camera calibration of a measurement system. In this paper, a probabilistic criterion is proposed to detect a local set of calibration points, which would guide the extraction of other calibration points in a cluttered background under irregular lighting conditions. If only a local part of the calibration pattern can be seen, input data can be extracted for camera calibration. In an experiment using real images, we verified that the method can be applied to camera calibration for poor quality images obtained under uneven illumination and cluttered background.

In order to widely disseminate LED lighting, LED lighting technology that directly uses AC commercial power has been recently introduced. AC powered LED lighting technology has a problem in that the light brightness of the LED changes because the voltage applied to the LED and the current flowing through the LED continuously change. In this study, when the LED current is greater than the design current, the current control signal generated by the controller is supplied to the current source to supply only the design current to the LED by increasing the voltage drop at the current source. If it is smaller than the design current, the controller is adjusted so that the current is supplied only to the LED without a voltage drop in the current source. It can be seen that the higher the maximum rectified voltage, the faster the lighting time of the LED light emitting block is, so that the power factor of the LED lighting is improved. The LED lighting technology proposed in this study enables LED lighting with constant light brightness, reduced power consumption, and long lifetime.

In this paper, proposed a new lighting control system which can reduce power consumption compared to conventional street lamps and intelligently control the light efficiently depending on whether there is a vehicle on the street. The new lighting control system proposed by this paper detects the presence of cars by collecting and analyzing sounds generated by the movement of cars. Then, the system controls lighting of street lamps based on the above car detection information, and turns on the street lamps sequentially by transmitting the car detection information. Experimental results showed that lightings were controlled based on the presence of cars and that operations of the lamps were made by turning on the lights sequentially by determining the moving direction of cars. This system is considered a technology that can reduce energies by applying to local roads with a few cars moving or national highways where lights are always turned on with low energy efficiency.

To control the LED lighting for broadcasting, LED current control using tri-stimulus values is used for RGB LEDs. For the convenience of control, this control is approximated as a linear function or used as an appropriate value through trial and error. Also, it is not suitable for broadcast lighting because it does not use a diffuser plate applied for mixing sufficient light and color required for actual it. In this study, a neural network with excellent nonlinear function approximation is used as a control method for LED panels for broadcast lighting. We intend to implement an LED panels controller suitable for the desired chromaticity coordinates and dimming values of intensity. As a result of the performance evaluation, the errors of the xy chromaticity coordinates are mostly ±0.02 and the acceptable range of ANSI C78.377A was satisfied. The average errors of the xy chromaticity coordinate are xerror=0.0044 and yerror=0.0030, respectively, and we confirmed the superiority and stable performance of the proposed algorithm.
