Abstract
A method of controlling a plurality of lighting units located in a space according to a light scene comprising a plurality of light settings is disclosed. The method comprises obtaining location information indicative of a location of a camera in the space relative to the plurality of lighting units, mapping the plurality of light settings onto the plurality of lighting units, wherein each light setting is mapped onto a lighting unit based on the light setting's respective color, saturation, intensity and/or temporal aspects and based on the lighting unit's respective location relative to the location of the camera, and controlling the plurality of lighting units according to the mapped light settings.
Claims13
A method of controlling a plurality of lighting units located in a space according to a light scene comprising a plurality of light settings, the method comprising:
- obtaining location information indicative of a location of a camera relative to the plurality of lighting units,
- obtaining an original mapping of the plurality of light settings onto the plurality of lighting units,
- mapping the plurality of light settings onto the plurality of lighting units by adjusting the original mapping of the plurality of light settings onto the plurality of lighting units, wherein each light setting is mapped onto a lighting unit based on the light setting's respective color, saturation, intensity and/or temporal aspects and based on the location of the camera relative to the respective lighting units, and
- controlling the plurality of lighting units according to the mapped light settings,
- wherein the method further comprises:
- obtaining one or more images captured by the camera,
- analyzing the one or more images to extract one or more image quality parameters of the one or more images based on the analyzed one or more images, and
- adjusting the mapping of the plurality of light settings onto the plurality of lighting units based on the one or more image quality parameters of the one or more images.
A controller for controlling a plurality of lighting units located in a space according to a light scene comprising a plurality of light settings, the controller comprising a processor configured to obtain location information indicative of a location of a camera relative to the plurality of lighting units, obtain an original mapping of the plurality of light settings onto the plurality of lighting units, map the plurality of light settings onto the plurality of lighting units by adjusting the original mapping of the plurality of light settings onto the plurality of lighting units, wherein each light setting is mapped onto a lighting unit based on the light setting's respective color, saturation, intensity and/or temporal aspects and based on the location of the camera relative to the respective lighting units, and control the plurality of lighting units according to the mapped light settings,
- wherein the processor is further configured to:
- obtain one or more images captured by the camera,
- analyze the one or more images to extract one or more image quality parameters of the one or more images based on the analyzed one or more images, and
- adjust the mapping of the plurality of light settings onto the plurality of lighting units based on the one or more image quality parameters of the one or more images.
