【 摘 要 】

The automatic sun-chasing panel can effectively improve the utilization of solar energy by adjusting the robotic arm that keep a right angle towards the sunlight. The new tracking system searches the position of the sun by analyzing the video stream captured by the camera and then binarization and edge detection methods are adopted to prevent the interference of other light sources. In the contemporary world with the shortage of energy resource, automatic sun-chasing panels can effectively improve the utilization of solar energy, so that the photoelectric conversion rate stays at the peak at every moment, effectively alleviating the problem of energy shortage.
