Algorithms for Automatic Measurement of Size and Velocity of Spray Droplets from Holographic Reconstructions
Chapter
Abstract
Software procedures to evaluate single and double pulsed holograms of sprays with special emphasis on automated focussing and droplet identification techniques are described in detail. They base on techniques of the digital image processing and are implemented on a personal computer which makes the work suitable for applications in small optical laboratories. Finally, new results of the evaluation of a large series of holograms of sub cooled spray droplets injected into saturated vapour are presented as an example of application.
