An Error Analysis into the Use of Regular Targets and Target Detection in Image Analysis for Impact Engineering

Conference item

This study concentrates on the use of corners targets for photogrammetry in impact engineering. An example of high speed experimentation is presented and the associated difficulties are discussed. The relevant corner detection methods that have been implemented and developed are investigated and their accuracy assessed. This study focuses solely upon the effect of blurring on the accuracy of the detection methods; it is part of a much wider investigation into the use and accuracy of different targets and target detection methods for photogrammetry in impact engineering. A set of tests has been performed and the errors between the true position of the corner and the detected position are compared.
