Sun positioning method based on complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor transistor (CMOS) navigation camera

Abstract

The invention discloses a sun positioning method based on a complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor transistor (CMOS) navigation camera, which comprises the steps of: (1) acquiring an image; (2) binarizing the image; (3) setting a sun radius as an R pixel; (4) setting a black sun diameter as a d pixel, searching black sun pixel points from the binarized image by taking the d as a step length, stopping as long as one black sun pixel point is found and turning to the next step; (5) calculating the quantity of the black sun pixel points with middle values of various upper, lower, left and right d pixel points being 0, turning to the next step if the result is within a threshold interval, otherwise, continuing to search; and (6) taking the region where the black sun pixel points and the surrounding pixel values are 0 as a circular structure, forming two squares which take the d and square root of 2 R as side lengths by means of taking the circle center of the circular structure as a center; regarding the circle center as the center of the sun if the quantity H1 of the pixel points with the pixel values being 0 in the squares taking the d as the side length and the quantity H2 of the pixel points with the pixel values being 1 in the squares taking the square root of 2 R are satisfied as a relation shown in the specification; otherwise, turning to the step (4) and continuing to search.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to a sun positioning method. Background technique [0002] Traditional solar positioning devices are dedicated solar sensors, including solar cell-based codes and analog solar sensors. In recent years, APS solar sensors based on mask holes have appeared. The above devices are characterized by the use of small apertures ( Slit, mask hole) weaken solar power, and detect according to photoelectricity. [0003] According to the method of identifying the position of the sun, the solar tracking and positioning technology of the photoelectric effect is divided into: slit imaging, centroid solution and four-quadrant deviation. The method of slit imaging is mainly used in solar sensors. The angle of the sun's rays passing through the slit is used to obtain the sun's position. The method of finding the center of mass is mainly to obtain the position of the sun by identifying the center of mass of the solar spot. The four-quadrant deviation meth...
