Apparatuses and methods, the methods including installing a plurality of lighting fixtures, each of the lighting fixtures being installed at a location where they are to be operated and including at least one of a motion sensor and a global positioning system (GPS) device; receiving a signal from the plurality of lighting fixtures; storing a dataset including data representing the signals from the plurality of lighting fixtures; determining a correlation between the plurality of lighting fixtures and/or determining neighboring lighting fixtures for the plurality of lighting fixtures; and determining a topology of the installed lighting fixtures based on the determined correlation between the plurality of lighting fixtures.

Methods for topology and automatic neighborhood detection in lighting system

Methods and systems for controlling lighting fixtures independently with image sensors. In an embodiment, a luminaire includes a controller, an image sensor and wide-angle lens component, and a light source. The controller receives detection signal data from the image sensor and wide-angle lens component when a user is within a detection area associated with a view angle of the wide angle lens, and then determines the position of the user. The controller then controls the illuminance of the light source based on the position of the user. In particular, illuminance is increased as the user approaches a center portion of the detection area, and decreased as the user moves away from the center portion.
