Fusion of geometry- and image data

As part of the "PreciWind" project, images of wind turbine rotor blades are taken using optical cameras as well as thermographic cameras. In addition, the geometry of the rotor blades is measured with lasers. In order to minimize perspective distortions and to represent the flows on the surface, the image and geometry data have to be fused by assigning the images to the corresponding sections of the rotor blade surface. Appropriate algorithms have to be researched or developed and compared to achieve the lowest possible uncertainty in the mapping.
