Laser Scanner-Based 3D Digitization for the Reflective Shape Measurement of a Parabolic Trough Collector

Laser Scanner-Based 3D Digitization for the Reflective Shape Measurement of a Parabolic Trough Collector

In concentrated solar power technology, the precise shape of the reflective surfaces is crucial for efficiency. Considering the geometry and size of a parabolic trough collector, measuring the actual shape is not trivial and some techniques can only be adopted during the assembly operations, evaluat...
