20230180371 · 2023-06-08 ·

Detection and identification of auditory events in distributed lighting networks is provided. Lighting fixtures or other devices in a distributed lighting network can incorporate an audio sensor (e.g., a microphone) through which auditory events (e.g., air leaks in compressed air systems, high noise events, shots fired, clapping, voice commands, etc.) are detected and measured. Through machine learning (e.g., a convolutional neural network), a type of auditory event can be identified, and action can be taken based on the type of the auditory event, such as to provide notification, alert nearby users, log events, provide sound cancelation, and so on. In some examples, the auditory event can be localized using multiple audio sensors. In some examples, a learning algorithm can fuse information from multiple sensor inputs, such as temperature sensors, cameras, occupancy sensors, light sensors, and so on.
