Abstract:
Visible Light Sensing (VLS) in the most general meaning describes an approach that utilizes light received at a photosensitive device to generate information. Due to ongoing improvements in the fields of LED lighting and associated photosensitive devices as well as peripheral electronics such as amplifiers, filters etc. VLS has gained a lot of momentum to enable low-cost/low complex solutions for various applications ranging from occupancy detection to the monitoring of industrial machines.
On the basis of concrete implementations of VLS, the main principles will be discussed as well as the major advantages compared to other technological approaches will be reviewed including also current limitations. Based on obtained results the future possibilities, especially towards integrating VLS into a broader network in the context of IoT will be elaborated.
