Abstract
The present invention provides the device for detecting an island position of an ingot growing furnace, comprising a control means for detecting the position of an island by analyzing the image obtained by the photographing means, wherein the control means derives a plurality of singularities with respect to the temperature or brightness from the image, derives a plurality of connection lines respectively forming straight lines by the mutual connection of a series of the singularities, considers an area in which the most intersections are generated as an island among areas in which the plurality of connection lines intersect each other, and determines whether the island is positioned in a seed contact area in which the seed is set to be lowered.
