Single Camera Photogrammetry Matlab Solver Developed For Automation Of The Oil Interferometry Process, Hunter Michael Dunn Jan 2018

Single Camera Photogrammetry Matlab Solver Developed For Automation Of The Oil Interferometry Process, Hunter Michael Dunn

Master's Theses

Over the last 20 years, Gregory G. Zilliac of the NASA AMES Research Center has been in continuous development of a fringe-imaging skin friction PC application used in oil interferometry analysis. This application, CXWIN5G, allows users to analyze propagation of oil smears across an aerodynamic surface using photogrammetry. The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the feasibility of increasing the level of automation currently found in CXWIN5G by developing a MATLAB solver capable of determining oil smear geometry with minimal user input.

There are two main automation goals of this thesis that are reflected in the core of the …
