Frame-by-frame processing using MATLAB to track objects for MTE 204 FEM Diving Board Model project
This analysis was done to confirm mathematical models by experimental method:
- Coloured nodes were placed on sheet metal, force was applied to metal to initiate vibration
- Video filmed & analyzed frame-by-frame to detect node (x, y) positions
- Node positions were plotted in various test scenarios to compare with mathematical models
This is what tracking looks like, frame-by-frame:
The following plots were obtained from post-processing videos of a vibrating sheet of metal:
