Abstract: A lighting design method for outdoor areas based on light fixture model augmentation includes displaying a satellite view image of an area on a display screen. The method further includes displaying a site plan image on the display screen, where the site plan image is displayed overlaid on the satellite view image that is displayed on the display screen. The method also includes displaying a light fixture model, where the light fixture model is augmented onto the site plan image displayed on the display screen. The method further includes generating illuminance information based on at least one or more parameters associated with a light fixture represented by the light fixture model and displaying the illuminance information on the display screen, where the illuminance information is displayed overlaid on the site plan image.

Abstract: A template-based lighting design method includes displaying, by a user device, a satellite view image on a display screen, wherein the satellite view image includes a sports area. The method further includes displaying, by the user device, a lighting design template on the display screen, where the lighting design template is overlaid on the sports area, where the lighting design template includes a template frame and one or more light pole markers, where each light pole marker of the one or more light pole markers corresponds to a light pole and one or more light fixtures attached to the light pole, and where the template frame matches an outline of the sports area. The method also includes identifying an existing lighting design based on the lighting design template and parameters associated with the lighting design template.
