Abstract

See full text

In one embodiment, a method is provided that determines an image captured from a capture device. For example, a digital camera may be used to take an image of a pattern that is reflected off a solar optical element. The captured image is then compared to a master image. The master image may be an image taken of the pattern reflected off of a second optical element that is of a known distortion. A deviation between the captured image and the master image is then determined based on the comparison. For example, image processing software may use detection techniques to determine if any deviation between the captured image and the master image is present. The deviation may be stored or displayed and a determination as to whether the solar mirror passes or fails the test may also be determined.
