Disclosed herein are a device and method of tracking the position of the sun. The device for tracking a position of a sun includes an image capture unit for capturing an image of the celestial sphere, a region calculation unit for calculating the brightness of the image received from the image capture unit, dividing the image into a plurality of regions by dividing the image into a plurality of brightness sections based on levels of brightness, and defining the boundaries of the respective regions, a central processing unit for calculating the position of the sun in the image based on the boundaries, and an output unit for outputting the position of the sun calculated by the central processing unit. As a result, the device and method can efficiently track the accurate position of the sun even in the case where clouds, an abnormal atmospheric phenomenon, or physical inference are present. |
