Using High Speed Video For Commercial Product Testing

August 25th, 2011

The high-speed video camera now captures video up to 230,000 frames per second with instant replay. You can set it up in minutes instead of having all that equipment that was needed in the past. The Digital Microscope now automatically creates a graph of the movement. The motion analysis tracks movements and calculates the distance, velocity, and acceleration to give you an enhanced picture. It can remember particular points in the video and track them for changes that have occurred between frames.

The depth-of-field is at least 20 Read the rest of this entry »

Recording Science Experiments With High Speed Video

August 24th, 2011

High speed video recording enables motion analysis on mechanisms, biomechanical systems, projectiles, crash testing, and many other systems which are traditionally difficult to analyze thoroughly due to their high speed and limitations of standard video recording. While simple experiments such as a pendulum swing or testing acceleration due to gravity do not require such sophistication, with high speed video one can watch a bullet slowly erupt from the barrel of a gun closely followed by a cloud of smoke and flames and track its movement millimeter by millimeter. Modern high quality high speed video recorders can Read the rest of this entry »

Ballistics Reconstruction: High Speed Video Evidence In Court

August 20th, 2011

Allowing high speed video evidence in court is something that will continue to be crucial as time continues. It opens new doors in the court world for top of the line ballistics evidence that will help put criminals behind bars.

Along the videos to be used will be a great source in determining who caused or committed the act of violence or criminal behavior. This can also help avoid putting the wrong people in jail. If you have a video of a Read the rest of this entry »

Renting High Speed Video Cameras For Home Use

May 26th, 2011

Serious video-making and analysis requires serious equipment. For so many, though, the cost of this type of equipment is prohibitive, making it impossible to get the equipment needed for a job at a price that is feasible for home use.

The good news is, many companies provide a rental option for high speed video cameras. This can be essential for anyone who is analyzing moving objects or systems, such as mechanisms, biomechanical systems, projectiles, or human or wildlife movement. High speed video cameras Read the rest of this entry »

Vehicle Crash Reconstruction: Improving Driver And Passenger Safety

May 20th, 2011

When a vehicle crash occurs, everything happens within mere seconds of the initial impact. When scientists develop safety systems for cars, they need to be able to see exactly what is happening to the time of impact. They typically will reconstruct accidents to see how everything unfolded inside the vehicles. Scientists can do this with the use of high speed cameras and other technology. The cameras allow things to be slowed down so the scientists can analyze various aspects of the crash. They can slow down the frame rates until each action inside the Read the rest of this entry »
