SYSTEM AND METHOD OF DETECTING LIGHT Russian patent published in 2016 - IPC H05B37/02 

FIELD: lighting.

SUBSTANCE: system for detecting light is configured to determine in light embedded codes by detecting light on scene, which is illuminated with an illumination system (110) comprising one or more light sources (111, 112, 113), each of which provides light contribution (I₁₁₁, I₁₁₂, I₁₁₃), comprising an embedded code (ID#1, ID#2, ID#3), emitted as a temporal sequence of modulations in characteristics of light emitted. Light detection system comprises light detection means, which are arranged for acquiring at least one image of scene, where image is acquired with a plurality of temporal shifted line instances. Each line of acquired image comprises an instance of temporal sequence of modulations of first embedded code. Light detection system further comprises means for determining embedded codes from spatial pattern of modulations.

EFFECT: wider range of technical capabilities of illumination system.
