Visual Discomfort and Glare Rating Assessment of Integrated Daylighting and Electric Lighting Systems using HDR Imaging Techniques

Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Apiparn Borisuit

The combined integration of daylighting and electric lighting systems within buildings --also designated by the term “Green lighting”, which is a recent issue for the lighting research community-- allows achieving better lighting conditions for building oc ...

Monocular 3D Reconstruction of Locally Textured Surfaces

Pascal Fua, Mathieu Salzmann, Appu Shaji, Aydin Varol

Most recent approaches to monocular non-rigid 3D shape recovery rely on exploiting point correspondences and work best when the whole surface is well-textured. The alternative is to rely either on contours or shading information, which has only been demons ...

Minimizing lighting power density in office rooms equipped with Anidolic Daylighting Systems

Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Friedrich Linhart

Physical or virtual models are commonly used to visualize the conceptual ideas of architects, lighting designers and researchers; they are also employed to assess the daylighting performance of buildings, particularly in cases where Complex Fenestration Sy ...

Energetic, Visual and Non-Visual Aspects of Office Lighting

Friedrich Linhart

Light has important visual and non-visual effects on humans and high-quality light should therefore be supplied inside buildings in sufficient quantities. On the other hand, artificial lighting is responsible for a large part of an office building's electr ...

Assessing the total energy impact of manual and optimized blind control in combination with different lighting schedules in a building simulation environment

Nicolas Morel, David Daum

In this work, we investigated the interplay and the influence of lighting and blind control models on the heating, cooling, and lighting energy loads of an office room. By including different stochastic models for occupancy and appliances, we built a compl ...

Pose Estimation for Category Specific Multiview Object Localization

Pascal Fua, Vincent Lepetit, Mustafa Özuysal

We propose an approach to overcome the two main challenges of 3D multiview object detection and localization: The variation of object features due to changes in the viewpoint and the variation in the size and aspect ratio of the object. Our approach procee ...

Bayesian estimation of visual discomfort

Nicolas Morel

A method is proposed to estimate objectively occupants' visual discomfort in small office rooms as a function of the illuminance at one or more locations. Expressed as a visual discomfort probability, it is based on an analysis of the past history of the u ...

Illuminant retrieval for fixed location cameras

Sabine Süsstrunk, Joanna Marguier

Fixed location cameras, such as panoramic cameras or surveillance cameras, are very common. In images taken with these cameras, there will be changes in lighting and dynamic image content, but there will also be constant objects in the background. We propo ...

Application of the Lightsolve methodology for the pre-design of the new Belgian VELUX headquarters

Marilyne Andersen, Magali Bodart

Through the example of the VELUXBelgium building, this paper presents a real case application of a new methodology that is being developed to favor an interactive and intuitive approach of daylighting in buildings in the schematic design phase. The Lightso ...

Energieeffiziente Bürobeleuchtung - Das Projekt "Green Lighting"

Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Friedrich Linhart

The „Green Lighting“ project, started in 2006 at the Solar Energy and Building Physics Laboratory of Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), explores different ways to combine modern day- and artificial lighting technologies. The main objective of ...
