Method for determining the position of a spotlight and calibrating same

Abstract

A method for determining the position of a spotlight (1) which is arranged above an underlying surface (3) and creates an illuminated region (5) on the underlying surface (3), wherein a light sensor (2) is arranged on the underlying surface (3), wherein the light sensor (2) is designed as a camera, wherein the camera comprises a wide-angle lens, preferably a fisheye lens, and wherein the light sensor (2) comprises one to three position sensors, preferably ultra-wideband position sensors (8), which are designed to determine the position of the light sensor (2) in a three-dimensional coordinate system, wherein the camera creates a recording of the spotlight (1), and wherein the position of the spotlight (1) is at least approximately determined from the recording and the position of the light sensor (2).
