  • This mapping function can relate to a simple step function, e.g. desk activity for an average velocity below a certain threshold and corridor activity for an average velocity above this threshold.
  • Another example for a mapping function can be based on the frequency or counts of high and low velocity.
  • the operation characteristics are determined from the raw or preprocessed activity data themselves without generation of histograms and the like.
  • the operation characteristics of light intensity I can be set as depending on the detected occupancy level (i.e. the number of people present in the vicinity) and on the average speed of motion.
  • the mapping function for the light intensity I is a function of these data determined from the sensor data.
  • control unit 130 can differentiate between daytimes. In other words, the control unit 130 determines histograms or typical activity patterns for different daytimes, respectively. For instance, the activity next to the luminaire 100 in the morning may be different from the activity during lunchtime. Therefore, the control unit 130 is adapted to adjust the operation characteristics of the luminaire 100 based on the activity detected during a respective daytime.
  • the difference between the proposed invention and a luminaire controlled by simple binary presence detection becomes obvious.
  • binary presence detection no information about the motion of objects or people is provided.
  • activity patterns can be distinguished for a corridor, where ten people pass by within one minute and stay only for a very limited time under the luminaire 100, and an office, where a person moves on his chair for 10 times in this minute. Therefore, in contrast to binary presence detection and subsequent illumination control, the present invention provides a luminaire 100 that can learn the typical activity in its surroundings and adapt its operation characteristics accordingly.
  • step S510 activity data is sensed in the direct vicinity of the luminaire 100. These data are used for generating a history of activity (S520), wherein only activity data detected within the predefined data recording interval are used. Then, the activity data can be quantized in order to generate a histogram (S530). The history of activity data is updated continuously or with predefined time periods for new activity data (S540). Based on the history of activity, the operation characteristics of the luminaire 100 are adapted (S550). Then, the surroundings of the luminaire 100 can be illuminated based on the adjusted operation characteristics (S560).
  • the operation characteristics of the luminaire 100 do not only include activation characteristics of the illumination unit 110 (see fig. 3), but can also relate to illumination properties, such as light color, light temperature, light effects, periodic light amplitude fluctuations, color changes, the direction of the light beam, the shape or size of the illuminated area and the like.
  • the operation characteristics of the activity sensor unit 120 can be adjusted, e.g. the time, in which activity data are taken into account for the adaptation process, a bin size of histograms, a time of activation of the activity sensor unit 120 and the like.
  • Fig. 6 shows a simple block diagram of another embodiment of a system for lighting configuration according to the present invention.
  • the system 600 is capable of learning how an environment such as a small office is used and configuring lighting in the environment, particularly adjusting the lighting settings accordingly.
  • the system 600 may comprise at least one sensor or sensor unit 120 for observing an area of interest 14 (the office environment) and providing spatial information from the area of interest, a processing/control unit 130, for example a computer configured by software to process the spatial information provided by the sensor 120, and at least one controllable light unit or illumination unit 110.
  • the sensor unit 120 may collect data for several illumination units 110, wherein the sensor unit 120 is adapted to sense data with spatial resolution, also referred to as spatial information.
  • the control unit 130 may receive the spatial information from the sensor 120 via a wired or wireless communication connection, for example via a ZigBeeTM connection.
  • the illumination units 110 may be controlled by the control unit 130 also via a wired or wireless communication connection such as a ZigBeeTM communication connection.
  • the sensor 120 of the system 600 is able to deliver spatial information from the area of interest 14, which in general corresponds to the surrounding area of one or more illumination units 110.
  • sensors that can provide spatial information of the observed environment can be used. Examples include cameras, arrays of PIRs as described in "Video Scene Understanding Using Multi-scale Analysis", Yang, Y., Liu, J. and Shah, M. 2009, IEEE International Conference on Computer Vision, ultra-sound radar arrays, microphone arrays, thermopile arrays etc.
  • the sensor 120 collects measurements of the environment 14.
  • the processing unit 130 using data mining techniques, automatically learns partitions of the observed space 14 that reflect the usage that is made of the environment. Based on this knowledge, the control unit 130 can adapt the type of illumination (shape, color, intensity etc.) created by the illumination units 110 according to the way the different areas are typically used.
  • usage patterns are determined using statistical learning for a predefined time interval, collecting simple and robust features for a long time. These long-term observations allow building a high-level segmentation of the environment, which was found being tightly related to the activities carried out in the different zones. This allows for a robust and flexible lighting configuration system that is able to provide the right amount and quality of light given the situation, allowing energy saving (e.g. more light on the desk than on the corridor) and better fit to user's needs.
  • the statistical learning can be done only once, after the system is installed, or can be updated (continuously, periodically or in certain occasions, e.g. when a room is refurbished) so that the behavior and usage changes can be automatically taken into account.
  • Fig. 7 shows in a top view a small office 14 as an example of an environment (area of interest), which can be observed with the system 600 according to this embodiment of the invention.
  • two desks 143 with computers and chairs 144 for office workers are located in the left part of the office 14.
  • office furniture such as shelves 145 and the door 146 to the office are located in the right part of the office 14.
  • a camera 147 is embedded in the ceiling, which is configured to capture images of the entire office environment and to transmit the captured images to the control unit of the system. After enough information is collected (typically few hours), the system 600 is able to "understand" which areas of the office 14 are used and how, and may adapt the light settings in the room accordingly.
  • the “understanding” is performed by applying algorithms as will be described later in detail.
  • the system "recognizes” a desk area or partition 141 with slow motion (dashed-dotted box), and lights are consequently set to be for example intense and slowly reactive to changes.
  • the system 600 also automatically “learns” the area or partition 142 with fast motion where people walk (dashed box) and illuminates it for example with reactive light only when users are detected there.
  • the rest of the room is not used and thus illumination can be, for example, low and diffuse.
  • These illumination "rules” can be set a priori or adapted, after the installation, by facility management or by the users themselves.
  • the system extracts context information from the environment, which can be used in two different ways:
  • Context information can be fed to presence detection systems to improve their performances, e.g. lowering detection threshold in areas where activity has typically occurred more frequently, as in the partitions 141 and 142 in Fig. 7.
  • the lighting system Given the presence of a user (e.g. detected by the presence detection unit), the lighting system can activate the appropriate lighting according to the learned context information.
  • the system is simple because it does not require the modeling of human activities and their reliable detection in unconstrained environments.
  • information extracted from long-term observations of the environment can be used for applications that are not directly related to lighting.
  • usage patterns can be used to provide statistics of people behavior in shops or public spaces for marketing purposes or security, or to automatically extract abnormal events in video surveillance systems.
  • Vision sensors provide accurate spatial information with only one sensor, and are already deployed in smart lamps to sense light levels and occupancy levels, as in the Philips Mini300 LED luminaire.
  • the sensor can be embedded in a light fixture or can be installed as a separate module with the lighting infrastructure, for example in the ceiling.
  • the algorithm is implemented in the control unit 130 of the system 600.
  • the control unit 130 may be for example implemented by a computer with interfaces for receiving spatial information from the sensor 120 and for controlling the illumination units 110.
  • the interfaces may be for example implemented by ZigBeeTM or any other modules suitable for communication in a lighting system.
  • the algorithm may be implemented as part of a program for controlling and configuring a lighting system.
  • Fig. 8 shows in a flowchart the steps S10-S16 of an embodiment of the algorithm.
  • step S10 spatial information, namely images captured with a vision sensor from the area of interest 14 are received.
  • step S12 patterns in the area of interest 14 are learned from the received spatial information.
  • step S14 the area of interest 14 is then spatially segmented into two partitions 141 and 142 based on the statistically learned patterns.
  • step SI 6 information for lighting configuration depending on the spatial segmentation is generated in step SI 6.
  • the generated information can for example be displayed on a monitor coupled with the control unit 130, so that a user may configure the lighting system by using this information, or the generated information can configure the lighting in the area of interest 14 by controlling the illumination units 110.
  • the statistically learned patterns are analyzed for partitions 141, 142 of the area of interest 14 with different features (step S121 in Fig. 9) and the area of interest 14 is then spatially segmented depending on the analyzed partitions with different features (step S141 in Fig. 9).
  • Fig. 10 An embodiment of the analysis in step S121 and of the spatially segmenting in step S14 is shown in Fig. 10:
  • images of the area of interest 14 are divided into blocks, and then very simple video features for each block can be computed (in Fig. 7, the division of an image into blocks is shown by a grid over the image of the entire office 14).
  • Features can include average motion detection such as slow or fast motion, direction of motion such for example from the door 146 to a desk 143, speed of motion, detection of a change such as for example the change of the location of a chair 144, color etc.
  • the advantage of using such simple features is that they are very basic, making the system flexible and general, and easy and robust to compute.
  • Histograms provide a very compact representation of data, while capturing the main statistical properties of the observed phenomena.
  • a 3 -bin histogram for motion (no motion, slow motion, fast motion) and a 2-bin histogram for change detection (no change detected, change detected) can be built (steps S 12122 S 12123 in Fig. 11) in the following way:
  • ChangeDetection(x,y) ChangeDetection(x,y)+ 1 SlowMotion
  • FastMotion and ChangeDetection can be visualized as 2D density maps and each point into these histograms represents one image block.
  • the size of these density maps is HightImage/8 WidthImage/8.
  • step S1411 blocks with the same characteristics are grouped together.
  • clustering methods such as hierarchical clustering (Hastie, T., Tibshirani, R. and Friedman, J. H.

H. 301, 1963, Journal of the American Statistical Association, Vol. 58, pp. 236-244), diffusion maps (Diffusion maps. Coifman, R. R. and Lafon, S. 1, 2006, Applied and Computational Harmonic Analysis, Vol. 21, pp.
  • image blocks may be clustered based on the similarity of features' histograms using the minimal variance hierarchical clustering method (Hierarchical grouping to optimize an objective function. Ward, J. H. 301, 1963, Journal of the American Statistical Association, Vol. 58, pp. 236-244).
  • the number of clusters does not have to be specified in advance.
  • the number of clusters can be automatically computed in such a way that the average solidity (area/convex area) of all connected regions in the labeled image is maximal. This is done to ensure spatial compactness of the clusters.
  • an analysis of an office room such as the one shown in Fig. 7 found essentially 4 clusters. These clusters are shown in Fig. 7 and are denoted with reference numerals 147-150.
  • the segmentation of the environment reflects the function of different regions: non-moving areas (147), walking areas (148), door/corridor (149) and desk areas (170).
  • the spatial grouping (partitions 141 and 142) of similarly behaving image regions is obtained without using the information of blocks position in the image. This labeling of the observed scene is clearly related to the usage that is made of the room. This image may be referred to as activity map.
  • the activity map of the room can be used in different ways:
  • the environment shown in Fig. 7 can be automatically subdivided into these pre-defined areas (partitions 141 and 142) automatically after few hours of observation.
  • the 4 clusters in Fig. 7 can be reduced to 3 clusters, where the door 149 and the walking areas 148 are merged (they are both classified as walking area according to rule (b) above).
  • the third cluster with the regions where nothing happens is not denoted and shown in Fig. 7. For each of these areas, a predefined light setting is stored in the system and is applied to the corresponding part of the room.
  • the clusters are areas where similar activities are carried out and that are described in a language (feature representation) that is understandable for the computer.
  • a user or facility manager can select one cluster (e.g. the desk area 170 in Fig. 7) and define some lighting setting for it (e.g. intense light for reading). Then all regions observed by the system that are similar in activity can be automatically set to the same lighting setting.
  • the proposed method translates complex semantic concepts (area where people walk, area where people work etc.) into commands that are easily
  • a clear advantage of this approach is that, after the facility management has defined lighting for a certain activity cluster, any new zone behaving similarly will be automatically assigned to the same light setting.
  • a luminaire, a system and a method for smart reactive illumination wherein a sensor unit senses activity data in the surroundings of the luminaire (unit) or of an illumination unit, a control unit generates a history of the activity data sensed for a predetermined time and adjusts operation characteristics of luminaire (unit) or of the illumination unit based on the history of activity data for illuminating the surroundings.
