Measurement of light pollution by using BSP

Abstract

Light pollution is a common problem, especially in large agglomerations, where something still shines: lanterns, lights from windows, car lights, neon lights, advertisements, shop windows, there is no such important darkness anymore. The lack of blackout has a negative impact on all living organisms, from plants, through animals, and ending on humans (e.g. it affects the quality of sleep, disrupts the hormonal balance). The proposed solution concerns the measurement of the intensity of the so-called light-smog (light pollution), using an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV / drone). This project is to help determine the scale of the problem, present it in numbers and provide the basis for improving the quality of life and health by reducing light smog.
