While deep learning methods have proven their superiority over conventional image processing techniques in many domains, their use in airborne heliostat monitoring remains limited. Our aim is to bridge this gap by developing models to improve and extend existing image-based measurement methods in this field. We use Blender and BlenderProc to generate synthetic image data, which grants us access to vast amounts of training data essential for developing effective deep learning models. The exemplary model we train can potentially solve the following tasks related to airborne heliostat field monitoring: detection of heliostats and detection of mirror facet corners. Our promising preliminary results demonstrate the applicability of our approach to use synthetic training data for the development of the intended deep learning models.
