Lighting plays a very important role in interior design. However, in the specific problem of furniture layout recommendation, illumination has been either neglected or addressed with empirical or very simplified solutions. The effectiveness of a particular layout in its expected task performance can be greatly affected by daylighting and artificial illumination in a non‐trivial manner. In this paper, we introduce a robust method for furniture layout optimization guided by illumination constraints. The method takes into account all dominant light sources, such as sun light, skylighting and fixtures, while also being able to handle movable light emitters. For this task, the method introduces multiple generic illumination constraints and physically‐based light transport estimators, operating alongside typical geometric design guidelines, in a unified manner. We demonstrate how to produce furniture arrangements that comply with important safety, comfort and efficiency illumination criteria, such as glare suppression, under complex light‐environment interactions, which are very hard to handle using empirical or simplified models.

照明引导的家具布局优化

照明在室内设计中起着非常重要的作用。然而，在家具布局推荐的具体问题中，照明要么被忽视，要么通过经验或非常简化的解决方案来解决。特定布局在其预期任务性能中的有效性可能会以非平凡的方式受到日光和人工照明的极大影响。在本文中，我们介绍了一种由照明约束引导的家具布局优化的鲁棒方法。该方法考虑了所有主要光源，例如太阳光、天窗和固定装置，同时还能够处理可移动的光发射器。对于这项任务，该方法引入了多个通用照明约束和基于物理的光传输估计器，与典型的几何设计指南一起运行，以统一的方式。我们展示了如何在复杂的光环境相互作用下生产符合重要安全性、舒适性和效率照明标准的家具布置，例如眩光抑制，使用经验或简化模型很难处理。
