Abstract:
The present invention provides a sun position tracking method based on a black sun effect of an image sensor, a computer program including commands for causing a computer system to perform the method, and a solar sensor using the method. The sun position tracking method includes processing a plurality of images captured using a plurality of image sensors installed to capture a plurality of images of the sun irrespective of the position of the sun to estimate the center point of the black sun and track the position of the sun.
