| Abstract: | Described herein are technologies pertaining to computing the solar
irradiance distribution on a surface of a receiver in a concentrating
solar power system or glint/glare emitted from a reflective entity. At
least one camera captures images of the Sun and the entity of interest,
wherein the images have pluralities of pixels having respective
pluralities of intensity values. Based upon the intensity values of the
pixels in the respective images, the solar irradiance distribution on the
surface of the entity or glint/glare corresponding to the entity is
computed. |
