Wind Turbine Blade SfM Image Capturing Setups

The images are separated depending on the image capturing setup. The different setups are as follows: - Distance from camera to blade - 2m, 4m, 6m - Horizontal image overlap - number of images taken in a semi-circle around the wind turbine blade in vertical direction - 9, 17, 33 images - Vertical image angle change - number of bands of images, where the height is changed - each band contains an additional semi-circle of horizontal images - 1 or 2 vertical bands Images are taken with a Canon 6D DSLR camera and each image contains EXIF data about the camera settings used to capture it.

From the 18 image datasets, 15 were reconstructed correctly using Agisoft Metashape and the resultant 3D meshes are added in .obj format. In addition, a horizontal 2D slice is taken from each 3D reconstruction for testing the captured blade's overall shape.
