Abstract
This paper describes three-dimensional (3D) stereo reconstruction efforts for the full-scale supersonic parachute deployment tests performed under the NASA Advanced Supersonic Parachute Inflation Research Experiment (ASPIRE) program. Specific time-resolved data products that have been generated for the ASPIRE tests and are presented in this work include parachute projected area, parachute vent-hole location, and parachute surface reconstruction (3D point clouds).
