| 摘要 |
The invention relates to a method for determining an unknown position, i.e. height and/or orientation, of a light source within a locality. The determination is based on a first image of a scene within the locality acquired by a camera in such a manner as to contain a light footprint of light emitted by the light source from the unknown position. The method includes steps of processing the first image to determine one or more characteristics of the at least the portion of the light footprint within the first image, comparing the determined characteristics with one or more corresponding known characteristics of a light footprint of light emitted by the light source from a known position to determine a deviation between the determined and the known characteristics, and determining the unknown position of the light source based on the determined deviation. |
