| Title: |
Systems and Methods for Calibrating Light Sources |
| Abstract: |
Example methods and systems for calibrating one or more light sources are
described. One example method includes determining a position of at least
three photosensors relative to a world frame, controlling an orientation
of at least one light source so as to cause the at least one light source
to project a light beam across an area encompassing the at least three
photosensors, receiving signals indicating a sensing of a light beam
directed at one of the photosensors, determining orientations of the at
least one light source that cause a signal at one of the photosensors,
and based on the position of the at least three photosensors and the
orientations of the at least one light source that cause a signal at one
of the photosensors, determining a transformation from a local frame of
the at least one light source to the world frame.
