Abstract:
One variation of a method for automatically mapping light elements in light structures arranged in an assembly includes: defining a sequence of test frames—each specifying activation of a unique subset of light elements in the assembly—executable by the set of light structures; serving the sequence of test frames to the assembly for execution; receiving photographic test images of the assembly, each photographic test image recorded during execution of one test frame by the assembly; for each photographic test image, identifying a location of a particular light element based on a local change in light level represented in the photographic test image, the particular light element activated by the set of light structures according to a test frame during recordation of the photographic test image; and aggregating locations of light elements identified in photographic test images into a virtual map representing positions of light elements within the assembly.

Claim (Index 11):
The method of  claim 10 :\n wherein receiving the set of optical test images of the assembly comprises receiving the set of optical test images of the assembly recorded by the imaging system occupying a first position during execution of the sequence of test frames by the set of light structures over a first period of time; further comprising serving a second sequence of test frames to the assembly for execution by the set of light structures, each test frame in the second sequence of frames specifying activation of a subset of light elements within the set of light structures; further comprising receiving a second set of optical test images of the assembly recorded by the imaging system occupying a second position during execution of the second sequence of test frames by the set of light structures over a second period of time; wherein detecting locations of light elements within a field of view of the imaging system comprises:\n for each optical test image in the set of optical test images, detecting a location of a particular light element within a field of view of the imaging system based on a local change in light level represented in the optical test image, the particular light element activated within the set of light structures according to a test frame in the sequence of test frames executed by the assembly during recordation of the optical test image; and \n for each optical test image in the second set of optical test images, detecting a second location of a particular light element within a field of view of the imaging system based on a local change in light level represented in the optical test image, the particular light element activated within the set of light structures according to a test frame in the second sequence of test frames executed by the assembly during recordation of the optical test image; and \n wherein aggregating locations of light elements detected in the set of optical test images into the virtual map comprises merging locations of light elements detected in the set of optical images and locations of light elements detected in the second set of optical images into a virtual three-dimensional map of the light elements in light structures within the assembly based on a difference between the first position and the second position.
