The Explosive Shock Image Analysis System (ESAIS) is designed to provide a semiautomated quantitative analysis of fast-frame imagery taken during the detonation of high explosive (HE) rate sticks. ESIAS does this by assisting the user in identifying the HE stick geometry on the image (i.e., sides of the undetonated HE stick, detonation front, an axial reference point to assist in the inter-comparison of images); scaling the images based on the known diameter of the undetonated HE stick; identifying the profiles of various surfaces resulting from the detonation process such as the shock wave and product gases or the outer pipe surface; calculating the detonation speed of the HE by tracking the distance it travels between two images with a known time lapse between the images; and determining the slit velocities resulting from the detonation. ESIAS will also import scope traces from oscilloscopes and assist in identifying the time of arrival of significant peaks.
