SYSTEM AND METHODOLOGY FOR LIGHT LEVEL AUDIT SAMPLING
There is provided a microprocessor-controlled rover having light and positioning sensing capabilities for the semiautonomous taking of light level readings in a more accurate manner. In embodiments, the rover comprises a cosine and V lambda corrected light sensor. The system may comprise a control computer which generates a waypoint file comprising a plurality of investigative waypoints within investigative area boundary coordinates, including that which may be configured using an onscreen GIS database interface. The investigative waypoints may be configured appropriately by the control computer, including in accordance with the relevant light audit settings. The waypoint file may be transmitted wirelessly to the rover. As such, the rover moves to each investigative waypoint according to the position sensed by the position sensor and the location specified by each investigative waypoint. At each investigative waypoint, the rover takes light level readings including in manners for enhancing the accuracy thereof.
