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 6):
The method of  claim 1 :\n further comprising:\n generating a baseline frame specifying deactivation of light elements in light structures within the assembly; \n serving the baseline frame to the assembly for execution; \n receiving an optical baseline image recorded by the imaging system during execution of the baseline frame at the assembly; \n wherein receiving the set of optical test images of the assembly and detecting a location of a particular light element within the field of view of the imaging system for each optical test image in the set of optical test images comprise:\n for a first frame in the sequence of test frames:\n receiving a first optical test image, in the set of optical test images, recorded by the imaging system during execution of the first test frame by the assembly, the first test frame specifying activation of a first light element in a first light structure within the assembly; \n detecting a first location of the first light element within a field of view of the imaging system based on a difference between the first optical test image and the optical baseline image; \n \n for a second frame in the sequence of test frames:\n receiving a second optical test image, in the set of optical test images, recorded by the imaging system during execution of the second test frame by the assembly, the second test frame specifying activation of a second light element in the first light structure; \n detecting a second location of the second light element within the field of view of the imaging system based on a difference between the second optical test image and the optical baseline image; \n \n retrieving a first three-dimensional virtual model of the first light structure based on an address of the first light structure, the first three-dimensional virtual model defining a geometry and locations of light elements within the first light structure; \n aligning a first point representing the first light element within the first three-dimensional virtual model to the first location; \n aligning a second point representing the second light element within the first three-dimensional virtual model to the second location; and \n populating the virtual map with points from the virtual model representing light elements in the first light structure.
