Abstract

In the analysis of concrete’s energy dissipation in impact events, 3D tracking of fragments and the reconstruction of fragment shapes play a crucial role. Optical 3D measurement techniques offer effective ways to track the motion of objects and to reconstruct their 3D shapes from image sequences captured by high-speed cameras employed in impact experiments. While multi-camera stereo photogrammetry is commonly used for 3D tracking, constraints such as cost, synchronization issues, or restricted viewing conditions sometimes necessitate the use of only one single high-speed camera, along with a suitable photogrammetric data processing chain for this setup. In this study, we employ a single high-speed camera setup with photogrammetric methods. The approach is based on enhanced inverse spatial resection principles for 3D tracking from single camera image sequence data and on structure-from-motion techniques for 3D shape reconstruction of multiple fragments produced in split Hopkinson bar impact experiments. These fragment shape and motion data allow to estimate the energy of each fragment, providing a key component in the analysis of energy dissipation.
