SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR RE-CONFIGURING A LIGHTING ARRANGEMENT
First Claim
1. A method of re-configuring a lighting arrangement used to light a scene which is to be captured by an image capture device, the method comprising the steps of:
- obtaining an initial image of the scene using an initial configuration of the lighting arrangement;
developing an image content map identifying at least one scene characteristic of at least a part of the scene captured in the initial image;
determining a desired aesthetic effect for a further image to be captured based on the scene;
in accordance with the at least one scene characteristic identified in the image content map, selecting from a plurality of aesthetic factors at least one aesthetic factor involving adjustment in order to achieve the determined desired aesthetic effect for the further image; and
developing at least one lighting parameter for re-configuring the lighting arrangement, wherein the at least one lighting parameter corresponds with the at least one selected aesthetic factor.

Abstract
A method of re-configuring a lighting arrangement (120-170) used to light a scene (100) which is to be captured by an image capture device (110), the method including the steps of: obtaining an initial image of the scene (100) using an initial configuration (190) of the lighting arrangement; developing an image content map identifying at least one scene characteristic of at least a part of the scene (100) captured in the initial image; determining a desired aesthetic effect for a further image to be captured based on the scene (100); in accordance with the at least one scene characteristic identified in the image content map, selecting from a plurality of aesthetic factors at least one aesthetic factor involving adjustment in order to achieve the determined desired aesthetic effect for the further image; and developing at least one lighting parameter for re-configuring the lighting arrangement (120-170), wherein the at least one lighting parameter corresponds with the at least one selected aesthetic factor.
