- 1. About program
- ================
- This program is designed for the observation and analysis of
- dynamic phenomena, captured by the digital images.
- These phenomena become very often in different engineers'
- applications, such as the observation of effects in
- hydrodynamic and aerodynamic, different areas of chemical
- engineering, different areas of process technologies, etc.
- Common to all these applications is that their features are
- expressed by significant visual effects, so that they can be
- observed using image analysis technology in time.
- The DYNASCAN is the tool which helps the researchers to
- quantify these effects in the time domain. For example, it is
- possible to generate the time series from characteristic of
- images and to analyse these time series in different ways.
- Also, it is possible to make other image transformations that
- observed effects can be more visible and that they can be more
- acceptable for further quantification of images.
- The results of this analysis can be used for the description
- of characteristic of processes, from which images have been
- derived.
- For this purpose, the program supports the generation and work
- with file series which consists of a high number of images.
- File series is group of files which describes the observed
- processes by digital images.
- The files in file series are numbered by the last 4 characters
- in the filename, so that maximal 4 characters are used for
- name and the last 4 characters are used for index, for
- example: TEST0001.BMP, TEST0002.BMP, etc.
- There are available functions for automatic numbering of
- files, transformations of complete file series, etc.
- Also, it is possible to measure different parameters manually,
- based on user selected scale.
-
- The program supports two types of video frame grabbers,
- PCVIDEO-I and PCVIDEO-II, manufactured by Motion Technologies
- Inc. However, you can also analyse the images which are
- captured by other video frame grabbers if these images are
- stored in BMP image format.
