High Speed Laser and Camera for in Situ 4D Visualization
Abstract
Major Goals: This proposal requests funds for the purchase of a high speed camera and a high-speed laser system for the research of four dimensional (4D) in situ visualization. The requested equipment will be used in an ongoing research project funded by the US Army Research Office (Contract number: W911NF1820192, Project title: In situ 4D visualization, duration: 2018-2021). The focus of the research is to enable in situ visualization of 4D (all three spatial dimensions plus time) datasets and higher dimensional datasets through collaborative efforts among the University of Virginia (Charlottesville, VA), TARDC (Warren MI), and APG (Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD). Visualization of multidimensional datasets based on post-processing is relatively mature. However, in many applications, it is of great interest and benefit to Army to be able to visualize high dimensional datasets in situ, and furthermore to guide the subsequent post-processing based on the in situ visualization. The project proposes several research topics that can potentially enable such in situ aspect and also proposes an experimental demonstration. Accomplishments: The requested equipment has been purchased, delivered, and successfully tested and installed in the PIs lab at the University of Virginia. There were some delays caused by the COVID pandemic on both our end and the vendors' end to process the orders. Despite the short duration we have had with these equipment, they are already helping with both our educational and research missions. In particular, the equipment has helped the research of a PhD student (Chris Windle). The student has been maintaining excellent academic progress and successfully conducted both laboratory and field measurements described below. He has successfully passed his PhD qualification exam is preparing for his proposal defense and final defense.
