Using High Speed Video For Commercial Product Testing

admin — Thu, 25 Aug 2011 00:00:00 +0000

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 times larger then optical microscopes. You can focus on the surface and also see peaks and valleys thus giving you a 3D observation. This is impossible for conservative optical microscopes. Free-angle observation systems will remove blind spots and enhance your multi-angle viewing.

Families record activities of their children, industrial engineers record car cashes, and all have in mind the projected slow down of the show. To get an accurate and un blurred measurement the high-speed camera is needed. Watching a simulated car crash will give the projected movements of everything going on. The dummy the way it hits forward and back, the angles of the car pieces, and windows as it hit’s the stationary wall. Each frame can then be analyzed and used to improve the construction of the car for better safety.What’s 1 more click?

Recording Science Experiments With High Speed Video

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 record at speeds in excess of 250,000 frames per second, capturing even the slightest change that would be imperceptible to a standard video camera. At these speeds, one second can be viewed seamlessly in slow motion for over ten minutes. The most sophisticated high speed camera in the world can record at 200 million frames per second. High speed cameras are invaluable to research on impacts, projectiles, and chemical reactions with applications from consumer safety to military use. Due to advances in technology, multiple high speed cameras at recording speeds of up to 1,000 frames per second are now available to the home consumer at affordable prices.More info here: Shark Week: The 118,000 Super High Speed Shark Week Camera

Ballistics Reconstruction: High Speed Video Evidence In Court

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 crime being committed there is no question to be made when it comes to who committed the crime.

Many feel that video evidence can be a lack of privacy if you did not know you were being taped. This can be a privacy issue one many people are trying to fight. What I feel it comes down to is, protecting the public. If you commit a crime I feel your right to privacy should be over. Video recording proves who did it therefore ensuring the correct person is put into jail.

It is important that the issues is considered very carefully as it makes a huge impact on court cases nationwide. The more technology increases the more high definition videos will be made available.

Using High Speed Video Can Improve Baseball Pitchers’ Mechanics

admin — Wed, 22 Jun 2011 00:00:00 +0000

Baseball is a popular game across the USA and is one of the top sports in the nation. It is popular among school kids, college students and with adults in the major league. Many young people endeavor to learn the game so they may play it at college or professional level. Unfortunately, not all who play the game can become good at it. To become good, one needs plenty of hours of training, practice and technique improvement.

In order to improve on technique, players can work with a coach and also incorporate the use of high speed video to improve their pitching techniques.This/tag helps explain it more. Pitching in baseball is the act of tossing the ball to the player on the opposing team holding a bat. Most pitchers usually never improve their techniques. However, by using good video technology, mistakes can be pointed out, the swing can be modified and the speed and momentum of the ball can be improved.

The process involves video recording a player’s pitching techniques over several sessions. These are then analyzed by professionals using sophisticated software and comparing these with baseball professional players. By doing this, mistakes will be eliminated and the pitching technique improved. This will also help eliminate the pain.

Renting High Speed Video Cameras For Home Use

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 allow effective analysis of these movements, in a way other technology is not able to.

Unlike normal video cameras which top out at under 30 frames per second, high speed video cameras can film at a staggering 250,000 frames per second. This allows for a “super” slow motion which can actually spread a single second of film into over 10 minutes worth of video. This amazing technology can be used to analyze anything from vehicle crash testing to a biologists examination of incredibly fast movements of animals that are too quick to be captured by normal video or the naked eye.

Anyone looking to analyze minute or fast movements such as these will require the use of a high speed video camera, and having them available for home rental makes them easier than ever to obtain.

Vehicle Crash Reconstruction: Improving Driver And Passenger Safety

admin — Fri, 20 May 2011 00:00:00 +0000

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 vehicle is clearly visible. They can test the various safety components of a vehicle. They can also see what flying projectiles are the most deadly during a crash. Researches will also place crash dummies into the car to see how the force would be on the human body, by watching how the dummies react on camera. All of these procedures are only possible because of the use of the high speed cameras. The cameras allow researchers to see what can’t be seen during a high impact accident. High speed cameras really help with accident reconstruction, and hopefully one day, they will help with making vehicles safer for everyone.
