s2: the two-dimensional turntable of an industrial control mechanism correctly returns to the initial position in two degrees of freedom in the horizontal and pitching directions; after a user issues a rough tracking command through an industrial personal computer, a fisheye image is obtained by a large-view-field fisheye imaging system, and a solar azimuth angle is calculated; reading time in the industrial personal computer and real-time longitude and latitude information of a GPS module, and calculating a solar altitude angle according to an astronomical view daily track method; converting the solar altitude angle and the solar azimuth angle into the driving steps of a pitching motor and a horizontal motor, and driving the motors to enable the imaging light cylinder to face the approximate direction of the sun;
s3, the imaging optical cylinder obtains the sun image and transmits the sun image to the industrial personal computer, the sun image is detected, whether the image has the sun facula or not is detected, if no, the step S2 is circulated;
s4: if the sun spot exists, the central coordinates (x, y) of the sun are calculated by using an image processing technology, and meanwhile, the horizontal and pitching pixel distance delta x is x-x ', and the delta y is y-y', and the distance between the two pixels is converted into the motor driving step number; when the pixel pitch is larger than M/2, the motor is driven rapidly, so that the solar facula enters a square area, and when the pixel pitch is smaller than M/2, the motor is finely adjusted, so that the pixel pitch between the center of the solar facula and the center of the view field of the second CCD image sensor is within +/-5 pixels of the set value, and the sun is aimed at;
s5: and continuing tracking, circulating the steps S3 and S4, tracking the sun all the day under the offshore mobile platform with the tracking accuracy higher than 1 angular division, and returning the two-dimensional turntable to the initial position in two degrees of freedom in the horizontal direction and the pitching direction when the tracking is finished.
9. The mobile unstable platform based sun tracking method according to claim 8, wherein in step S2, the method for calculating the azimuth angle of the sun is:
and calculating the distortion coefficient of the fisheye lens in a mode of detecting the angular point by adopting a black and white chessboard, inputting the acquired lens distortion coefficient into a fisheye lens model, correcting an image, and calculating the solar azimuth angle.
