Abstract

Light pollution is becoming more and more an issue not only for astronomical observations but also for the quality of human life. Global light emission from surface light sources is best detected by satellites. However, drones and air ballloons can play important roles in taking local measurements from convenient altitudes and positions. The scope of this paper is to define a technique for carrying out light monitoring at relatively low altitudes with drones and airballoons. The sensor suite proposed will be able to measure the luminous intensity of polluting sources and their spectral power density with a wavelength resolution which allows to identify the different lamp technology used in street lighting. By operating over a limited area, the spatial resolution can be about tenths of meter and if tethered balloons are used, the time evolution of the luminosity can be measured over many hours. The paper discusses the sensor suite, the expected performance and issues related to operating the sensors on board drones and airballoons.

MINLU:无人机或气球光污染监测仪器套件

光污染已成为越来越严重的问题，不仅对天文观测，而且对人类的生活质量。地表光源的全球光发射最好由卫星来探测。然而，无人机和气球可以在方便的高度和位置进行局部测量方面发挥重要作用。本文的范围是定义一种在相对较低高度用无人机和气球进行光监测的技术。提出的传感器套件将能够测量污染源的发光强度及其光谱功率密度，并具有波长分辨率，从而可以识别街道照明中使用的不同灯具技术。通过在有限的区域内操作，空间分辨率可以达到大约十分之一米，如果使用系留气球，可以在许多小时内测量光度的时间演变。本文讨论了传感器套件、预期性能以及在无人机和气球上使用传感器的相关问题。
