Abstract
When a controller receives an external instruction for initial setting, the controller gives image sensors an instruction regarding lighting. When an image sensor among the image sensors receives the instruction regarding lighting from the controller, the image sensor performs lighting control in accordance with the instruction regarding lighting on a luminaire among luminaires to determine (i) a relative position of the luminaire relative to the image sensor and (ii) a relative position of the image sensor relative to a different image sensor among the image sensors. The controller determines positions of the image sensors and positions of the luminaires by collecting the relative positions of the image sensors and the relative positions of the luminaires determined by the image sensors.
