Abstract: A method for automatically generating, in real-time, for display on a display, a simplified network layout from an initial network layout including one or more lines each connecting a plurality of nodes. Graph information is provided indicating vertices representing geographic positions of the nodes and edges representing connections between the nodes.

Abstract: According to the invention, a PIR sensor system (100) comprises a first PIR sensor (1) associated with a first sensing region (11) and a second PIR sensor (2) associated with a second sensing region (12). The first and second sensing regions partially overlap and are divided into detection cells (46a-46f) and (45a-45d). Each detection cell is represented by predetermined characteristics of first and second output signals, which signals are based on input signals from first and second sensing elements (4-7) of each PIR sensor. Thereby different detection cells are encoded by a certain combination of signal characteristics (amplitude and sign) of the first and second output signals. Further, the PIR sensor system comprises a processing unit (15) configured to associate the characteristics of the first and second output signals with one of the detection cells for determining in which of the detection cells a heat source is positioned.

Abstract: A method of self-calibrating a lighting device, comprising: —monitoring a calibration area, which encompasses at least a part of an area being illuminable by the lighting device; and—calibrating the light output settings of the lighting device. The monitoring operation includes repeating: —detecting any relevant change, out of a set of relevant changes comprising at least a light intensity change, in the calibration area during a monitoring time, while keeping the light output of the lighting device constant; and—determining an amount of change within the monitoring time; until the amount of change is below a limit value. Thereby the lighting device does not perform the calibration until it has detected a period of no or small changes.

Abstract: A video analysis device (3), configured to receive video sequences of an environment within a field of view (8) of a camera (7), and to analyze the video sequences as regards behavior of persons present in the video sequences. The video analysis device is configured to determine a footprint (15) of at least one light source (9) illuminating an area within the field of view with coded light. The coded light carries a unique light source identification for each light source. Furthermore, the video analysis device is configured to receive association information associating at least one object (13) with the light source identification of each light source illuminating each object, and to determine an analysis area (17) within the field of view where said analysis of the video sequences is to be done. The determination is done for each object, and by means of the association information.
