The invention relates to the field of
heliostat calibration, and discloses a scheduling method for calibrating heliostats through cooperation of
artificial light sources and cameras in a large-scale
heliostat field, and the method comprises the following steps: determining the
heliostat range covered by each camera, determining the heliostat range covered by each
artificial light source, and determining the heliostat range covered by each camera; the method comprises the following steps: determining the center and size of a
light spot in an image shot by a camera when the heliostats are calibrated, determining the heliostats which can be calibrated in the coverage range of each
artificial light source-camera combination, regarding each effective calibration combination as a node to construct an
undirected graph, dividing the nodes into a plurality of groups through a graph grouping
algorithm, and ensuring that the nodes in the same group are not connected with each other, therefore, all combinations in the same group can execute calibration in parallel. According to the method disclosed by the invention, the problem of affiliation misjudgment caused by
light spot interference between heliostats is solved, possible shadow and shielding problems are avoided, dynamic scheduling of the artificial
light source and the camera is realized, and invalid
operation time is shortened.
