Abstract
Systems and methods are provided to assess light conditions at a location. The system can include a computer processor (CP) and a database. The database can store a grid map that includes a plurality of grid areas that segregate the location. The system can include a location sensor and a light sensor that generates sensor light. The CP can perform processing including: (1) determining that a sample event has been attained; (2) inputting sample data including location data and light data, (3) identifying, based on the location data, a grid area, of the plurality of grid areas, that corresponds to the location data; and (4) associating, based on the identifying, the sample with the grid area. The processing can further include (5) aggregating the sample with a previous sample that has been associated with the grid area; (6) generating a light value result based on the light level value and the previous light level value; and (7) applying the light value.
