Sustainable Street Lighting Design Supported by Hypergraph-Based Computational Model

Street lighting systems are significant energy consumers in urban environments. The important step toward the reduction of this energy consumption and, thus, finding a balance between functional requirements and savings-related demands, was introducing LED-based light sources. There still exists, however, a margin for further savings, which is associated with well-tailored designs of road light...

Street Lighting Disturbs Commuting Bats

Anthropogenic disturbance is a major cause of worldwide declines in biodiversity. Understanding the implications of this disturbance for species and populations is crucial for conservation biologists wishing to mitigate negative effects. Anthropogenic light pollution is an increasing global problem, affecting ecological interactions across a range of taxa and impacting negatively upon critical ...

Image-Based Lighting Design

In this paper, we present a lighting design framework for neardiffuse real objects, starting from a set of prerecorded photographs of an object under various lighting conditions. Light sources are placed at fixed positions around an object, for which the intensities are to be determined. Using existing digital imaging software, the lighting designer paints the desired illumination distribution ...

Perception-based Lighting Design

Perception-based lighting design approaches model image quality using a cognitively grounded objective function which is in turn optimized through manipulation of the lighting parameters of a scene. We present, and demonstrate, a detailed implementation of perception-based lighting design, including the application and evaluation of stochastic optimization using genetic algorithms.
