An Automated Goniophotometer for Luminaire Characterization
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes the design and construction of an automated goniophotometer. It consists of an optical-photometric system mounted on a positioning system, and its purpose is defined as luminaire characterization. The proposed model is based on the use of two mirrors in order to reduce the total size of the system. This original configuration is possible due to a motion control system which improves the general performances of the goniphotometer. The prototype has been tested and the results show higher accuracy and lower time to characterize a luminaire than other commercial solutions. Copyright © 2002 IFAC.

A Review and Analysis of Parallel Goniophotometry
A reliable computer simulation of natural and artificial lighting of an indoor environment requires the thorough knowledge of the angular intensity distribution of light scattered or emitted by the various objects involved such as the illuminated surfaces, the transilluminated windows or fenestration systems, as well as the luminaires. The angular intensity distribution of light flux reflected,...
متن کاملApproximating Real-World Luminaires with OpenGL Lights
Dynamic illumination in real-time applications using OpenGL is still usually done with the classical light forms of point lights, directional lights and spot lights. For applications simulating real-world scenes, e.g. architectural planning, finding parameter sets for these simple lights to match real-world luminaires is required for realistic work. This paper describes a simple approach to pro...

We are doing reseaching and development of an intelligent lighting system to provide desired brightness to a desired place. In this study, we consider how to satisfy target illuminance for each worker and minimize power consumption with not only luminous intensity for each light but also the height of luminaire as the design variables. Therefore, highly-accurate target illuminance as well as ve...
