TEMPLATE-BASED LIGHTING DESIGN

A template-based lighting design method includes displaying, by a user device, a satellite view image on a display screen, wherein the satellite view image includes a sports area. The method further includes displaying, by the user device, a lighting design template on the display screen, where the lighting design template is overlaid on the sports area, where the lighting design template includes a template frame and one or more light pole markers, where each light pole marker of the one or more light pole markers corresponds to a light pole and one or more light fixtures attached to the light pole, and where the template frame matches an outline of the sports area. The method also includes identifying an existing lighting design based on the lighting design template and parameters associated with the lighting design template.
