The program realization of optic models for design of lighting devices

The article deals with the possibilities of three-dimensional modeling in the modern light device design. Light device’s optical system is used to distribute light. They have different construction, functionality, light curve types, and calculation methods. Light distribution defines purpose and class of light device. The optical calculation is based on tracing of light rays through light device’s optical system model. The calculation quality depends on the number of emitted rays. It’s necessary to trace (reflect, refract, absorb) each light ray over light device model. It is usually set by triangular meshes. However usage of the large number of small triangles slows the calculation process. Thereby a new optical system geometry model was developed. It allows to determine light device and provides fast and high-precision calculation using combination of usual triangular mesh model and simple shapes, i.e. planes, spheres, cones, torus, etc, or its parts. Also the algorithm to transform one model type to another is described. It is based on heuristic analysis of sequential shape imposition and uses the support vector machine. The developed model and algorithm can accelerate the calculation of complex light device several times.

Computer modeling and calculation of LED lighting systems

The article describes the optical system for the light-emitting diodes. Analyzed the features of the secondary use of the optical elements in the form of lenses and prisms for different LED emission patterns in space. Formulated the requirements imposed on the optical elements. The paper considers the problem of designing modern lighting devices and optical systems. Analysis of the development of lighting devices shows that the main stage in their development is the calculation of the optical system, the results of which largely determine the lighting fixtures and functional characteristics. Application and development of specialized software for the calculation and simulation of lighting devices significantly facilitates and speeds up the process of their design. The paper presents a mathematical model developed by the software system, described in the hierarchical structure of the simulation geometry of lighting devices. Building an extended triangulation grid facilitates the approximation of smooth surfaces of the optical element and the photometric body. The software package is carried out modeling of LED optical systems and luminaires based on them using surface models, ray tracing and calculation of photometric body.

Implementation and optimization of the ray tracing algorithm in the optical system

Lighting devices represent a wide group of lighting products, the main role of the optical system is to perform the redistribution of light from a light source. Optical calculation of such systems is reduced to tracing the light rays emitted by light sources, based on their geometric models. The analytical approach can be used only for very simple forms of optical systems. For the demanded LED lighting devices, lenses and reflectors are used as optical elements. They allow to obtain various radiation patterns of LEDs. However, their shape can be very complex. In this case, to simulate the propagation of radiation in the form of ray tracing, it is advisable to use specialized algorithms. For ray tracing, a preliminary approximation of the surface by triangular elements is needed, as a result a triangulation grid is obtained. The search algorithm for the intersection of the ray with the surface is reduced to a sequential enumeration of all the triangles that make up the optical system of the device, and checking for the intersection of the ray with the current triangle. The algorithm consists in repeated simulation of random ray trajectories in the studied medium. The article is also devoted to the description of the developed algorithm for ray tracing in the optical system and aspects of its implementation in a C# program. The described algorithm is accompanied by listings and schematic images. This method allows you to simulate the interaction of light rays with the optical system of the light device and to obtain the desired light distribution.

Application of the kd-trees for the ray tracing optimization in the optical system

The article is devoted to the description of the developed method and algorithm for finding the intersection of a ray with a triangle based on kd-trees. The algorithm allows to reduce the number of viewed items when searching, to speed up the process of searching for the intersection of the beam with a certain area. Here are considered the advantages and disadvantages of kd-trees, the most popular types of trees, their advantages and disadvantages. The author introduced the necessary abstractions for optimizing structures that allow accelerating ray tracing, and describes the implementation of the ray tracing algorithm based on kd-trees. The quality assessment of the constructed tree was made. An example is given of determining the best location of the section plane for a group of elements limited to one volume only. The algorithm for counting the number of elements to the left and right of the partition plane is described. Analyzed aspects of the implementation of the algorithm in terms of assessing its complexity. An algorithm for traversing a kd-tree, based on recursion, has been developed. These algorithms can significantly accelerate the process of modeling the ray tracing in the optical system of a light device for further analysis of its lighting characteristics.
