Dynamic Image Modification for Lighting Control Feedback
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing lighting control systems fail to accurately represent the current light setting after changes have been made, leading to a disconnect between the image and the actual lighting conditions.
Innovation Solution
A method and system that control multiple light sources based on a source image, where the image is dynamically modified to reflect changes in light settings by adjusting colors, such as hue, saturation, and brightness, ensuring the image accurately represents the current lighting conditions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the light setting of a light source is changed after the light source has been controlled based on an image, then the light setting can be updated, but the image no longer represents the current light setting
Solution Approach 1:
The system modifies the source image based on the changed light setting, creating a feedback loop where the image is updated to reflect the current light setting. This ensures the image remains representative of the actual lighting conditions after changes are made.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the color of pixels in the source image that correspond to the modified light setting. By adjusting pixel colors to match the new light setting, the image visually represents the current lighting state.
2Loss of information
If the source image is modified to reflect changed light settings, then the image represents current settings, but additional processing steps are required
Solution Approach 1:
The system modifies only the pixels in the source image that correspond to the changed light setting, rather than processing the entire image. This localized approach reduces processing complexity while maintaining image representativeness.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple light sources are controlled based on a single source image, then coordination is improved, but it becomes difficult to represent individual light source changes
Solution Approach 1:
The system divides the source image into multiple regions, each corresponding to a different light source. By segmenting the image, the system can track and modify individual light source settings while maintaining overall coordination through the unified image structure.

AI summary
A method of controlling a plurality of light sources based on a source image is disclosed. The method comprises controlling a first light source according to a first light setting based on a first color of the source image, receiving an input indicative of a change of the first light setting of the first light source, determining a color of the changed first light setting, modifying the source image by modifying the first color in the source image based on the color of the changed light setting, and rendering the modified image on a display.
