NOTE: More than one point of view may cover a given topic. There will be
some hands on experience, but that will not be the primary emphasis of this course.


OBJECTIVE & SCOPE

The emphasis for this High Speed Photographic Seminar will be to provide a 
sound basis of capability, operation and use of equipment to obtain visual stop 
action for high speed motion events. Other Instrumentation Techniques covered 
would include Ballistic and Explosive events,Missiles, as well as Laboratory 
polarized stress-strain analysis and other experiments. Triggering and 
Instrumentation Techniques will be discussed for obtaining Test and Evaluation 
information and data in the Ballistic Range Facilities as well in the 
Laboratory.

MATERIAL COVERED
High Speed Photographic and Visual Motion Capturing Data Collecting Equipment, 
including triggering, lighting, developing, set-up, measurement, digital 
imaging media and analysis and enhancing techniques, will be covered. 
Instrumentation and other areas related to data collection for Test and 
Evaluation will also be emphasized.
