Description
Summary:Abstract Our research primarily focuses on the detection methods for motion parameters and collision impact forces of flying objects. Firstly, we established a system designed to measure motion parameters and collision impact forces associated with airborne objects. A calibration experiment was performed on the binocular camera to guarantee swift and precise image capture across different flight modes of the object. Further, a novel approach that integrates Otsu’s method with the three-frame difference technique was proposed to avoid the “hole” issue that arises during high-frame-rate image acquisition. Lastly, the equations governing the motion of the marked ball across various flight modes were derived utilizing a binocular vision system. A series of experiments were performed to quantify the motion parameters and impact forces resulting from collisions of the flying marked ball under a range of conditions.
