Abstract:
We all witness in our life that a lot of energy is wasted due to
unorganized use of light. We witness that the light is wasted in various places
for example if we take educational institutes like Universities, colleges,
schools etc. light is wasted in library, laboratory, class rooms due to change
of personals. So we present the solution to this problem in the form of
Automated light control using Mat lab. We developed a program to detect
people and we processed those images and then we used the arduino to
control the lights in the supervised environment.
