Scene Reconstruction User Guide

These instructions show how to use the OpenCSP Scene Reconstruction application. Scene Reconstruction calculates the three-dimensional positions of Aruco markers placed around a scene using photogrammetry. This has multiple applications within OpenCSP; this document is referenced by multiple other OpenCSP documents.

OpenCSP Camera Calibration: Document Version 1.0

This report provides instructions on how to perform an OpenCSP camera lens calibration, which characterizes the inherent distortion in camera-lens systems. This calibration is necessary for many OpenCSP photogrammetry calculations and should be performed individually for every new camera or after adjusting lens settings.

SOFAST 2.0 User Guide and Technical Description, Document Version 1.0

This report accompanies Sandia’s deflectometry tool, SOFAST 2.0, providing both a user guide and a basic technical description. SOFAST is a deflectometry tool used to measure surface slope maps of concentrating solar power (CSP) mirrors and collectors. The original SOFAST performed high-resolution measurement of a variety of CSP mirror types. SOFAST 2.0 is a completely new version, re-implemented in Python and including many extensions and improvements.
