Automotive Testing Technology International will host an exclusive webinar, in association with Vision Research, on May 13, 2025, at 1:00pm EDT / 18:00 BST / 19:00 CEST, titled, ‘Automated image-based measurements in automotive testing applications’.
Automotive crash testing relies heavily on the use of high-speed cameras and advanced image analysis software to capture and interpret the intricate details of a range of different car crash scenarios. During a typical test, high-speed cameras record a crash event in ultra-fine temporal detail, typically at thousands of frames per second. This enables engineers to study the rapid sequence of events that unfold during a collision, such as the deformation of vehicle structures, the movement of crash test dummies and the impact forces involved.
Using advanced image analysis software, the digital footage can be meticulously processed to extract quantitative data such as displacements, velocity changes, deformation patterns and energy distribution throughout the crash. These detailed analyses enable manufacturers to enhance vehicle safety features, optimize structural designs and reduce the risk of injury in real-world accidents. By combining cutting-edge imaging technology with rigorous analytical methods, crash testing provides invaluable insights into automotive safety.
In this webinar, Kyle Gilroy, applications engineer at Vision Research, Ametek, materials analysis division, will discuss how high-speed cameras are used in automotive crash testing. He will also cover how image analysis software is used to perform sub-pixel tracking on fiducial markers to extract displacement, speed and acceleration.
