Abstract
Systems and methods for performing contactless wellhead displacement measurements in a desert environment include adjusting an alignment of optical components in an optical system based on a temperature of the optical system. A pattern of infrared light is projected from the optical system onto a portion of a wellhead, the infrared light having a wavelength away from water absorption wavelengths and solar maxima wavelengths. Reflections of the pattern of infrared light from the portion of the wellhead are captured using an imaging sensor of the optical system. A displacement of the wellhead is measured based on the projected pattern of infrared light and the reflections.
