Illumination system

1. An illumination system for illuminating an object located in an object space, comprising

an illumination unit adapted to emit illumination light into the object space,

a marker system comprising a marker emitter unit for emitting a marker signal and a marker receiver unit for detecting at least a portion of the marker signal,

wherein the illumination system is configured to

localize the object within an area of the object space on the basis of the distance image and individualise the object using the signal portion received with the marker receiver unit, and

illuminate the object accordingly with the illumination unit.

2. The illumination system according to claim 1 , wherein the marker emitter unit is part of a first marker device which also has a receiver unit, and wherein the marker receiver unit is part of a second marker device which also has an emitter unit.

3. The illumination system according to claim 1 , wherein the marker system is radio-based, the marker signal being a radio signal.

4. The illumination system according to claim 3 , wherein the radio signal is a UWB signal.

5. The illumination system according to claim 1 , wherein the marker receiver unit is arranged in relation to at least a part of the illumination unit so that it is fixed at this part of the illumination unit.

6. The illumination system according to claim 1 , wherein the distance measuring unit is configured to determine a distance of the marker emitter unit from the marker receiver unit based on the portion of the marker signal detected by the marker receiver unit.

7. The illumination system according to claim 6 , wherein the marker system has a further marker receiver unit for detecting at least a portion of the marker signal, the illumination system being configured to determine a position of the marker emitter unit relative to the marker receiver units from the signal portions by means of a triangulation.

8. The illumination system according to claim 1 , wherein the illumination unit is adapted so as to emit a cone of light along each of different beams pointing in different directions, the different beams having a shared origin in a polar coordinate system.

9. The illumination system according to claim 8 , wherein the illumination unit includes a base and an arm, and a lamp head for emitting the illumination light, wherein the arm is rotatably mounted on the base and the lamp head is rotatably mounted on the arm.

10. The illumination system according to claim 1 wherein the distance measuring unit is fixedly attached to a base of the illumination unit.

11. The illumination system according to claim 10 , further comprising a holder, by means of which the distance measuring unit is fixedly attached to the base, and whereby the distance measuring unit can be moved with the holder into different tilting positions relative to the base.

12. The illumination system according to claim 11 , further comprising a lamp head for emitting the illumination light, wherein the illumination unit is rotatable on a plane of rotation relative to the base, and wherein a plane spanned by the different tilting positions of the holder lies parallel to the plane of rotation.

13. The illumination system according to claim 1 , wherein the distance measuring unit is adapted so as to emit pulses in the infrared spectral range for the distance measurement.

14. The illumination system according to claim 1 , wherein the distance measuring unit is a TOF camera.

15. The illumination system according to claim 1 , wherein the illumination system is configured to classify the object using the signal portion detected with the marker receiver unit.

16. A method for operating an illumination system for illuminating, via an illumination unit, an object located in an object space, the method comprising:

providing the object with a mark emitter unit for emitting a marker signal;

detecting the marker signal with a marker receiver unit;

recording a distance image of the object space with the object according to a distance measuring unit;

localizing the object within at least an area of the object space on the basis of the distance image; and

individualizing and illuminating the object on the basis of the marker signal.

17. The method according to claim 16 , further comprising obtaining a reference distance image of the object space prior to the object being in the object space, which reference distance image is then used for an assessment of the differences as part of an evaluation of the distance image.

18. The method according to claim 16 , wherein, when the object is located in the object space, a plurality of distance images are taken one after the other and are used for an assessment of the differences as part of an evaluation.

19. The method according to claim 18 , wherein the plurality of distance images taken one after the other are used to determine movement trajectories.
