Light control system and method for automatically rendering a lighting scene

A light control method for automatically rendering a lighting scene with lighting system, comprising:

• monitoring the rendered lighting scene for the occurrence of an interference, comprising:
• scanning the rendered lighting scene including taking samples at given measurement points over a period of time;
• and
• detecting a significant deviation of the scanned lighting scene with respect to a reference lighting scene by processing the samples including comparing the samples with reference values, wherein the comparing comprises one of the following:
• averaging over regions of interest a computed difference between readings of a user-tuned lighting scene and the rendered lighting scene, low-pass filtering the computed difference, and comparing the low-pass filtered computed difference with a threshold value in order to determine whether a significant variation in the mean of samples has occurred during the last observed periods of time;
• or
• defining a time window embracing the last periods of time previous to a current sample, estimating a predictor from the samples taken during the defined time window, running a generalised likelihood ratio test, and comparing the result of the generalised likelihood ratio test with a threshold value in order to determine whether a change has occurred in the monitored magnitude over a certain region of interest;
• and
• automatically reconfiguring the lighting system such that a monitored occurrence of an interference is compensated.
