Designing lighting systems for soccer stadiums is a complex engineering challenge. These systems must comply with strict national and international standards while providing strong and uniform illumination from multiple angles—without causing discomfort to players or spectators, or contributing to light pollution. Achieving this requires optimizing large lighting arrays with many interdependent parameters. This project involves the complete design of a stadium lighting system, using commercial simulation tools to optimize the layout and configuration of the lighting array to meet the required standards. Once the system is installed, it must be thoroughly tested to ensure real-world performance aligns with design specifications. Currently, this involves a long and tedious manual process of measuring light intensity at numerous points across the field. This project explores an automated alternative: estimating the lighting intensity map directly from a photograph of the field using image processing techniques. This approach could significantly simplify the process of checking the lighting system after installation.
