Computer-Controlled Image Anaysis of Solid Propellant Combustion Holograms Using a Quantimet 720 and a PDP-11.

Abstract

This thesis describes the implementation of a computer-controlled image analyzer to obtain particle size information from holograms of rocket engine combustion products. The two machines utilized were a Quantimet 720 Image Analyser and a DEC PDP-11 digital computer. The machines are described in terms or their hardware, software, and interface. Preliminary results have been included and indicate that the present system is incapable of obtaining the desired particle information from a hologram. The causes for this, as well as their resolution are discussed. (Author)
