arcjetCV: an open-source software to analyze material ablation

arXiv:2404.11492v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: arcjetCV is an open-source Python software designed to automate time-resolved measurements of heatshield material recession and recession rates from arcjet test video footage. This new automated and accessible capability greatly exceeds previous manual extraction methods, enabling rapid and detailed characterization of material recession for any sample with a profile video. arcjetCV automates the video segmentation process using machine learning models, including a one-dimensional (1D) Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) to infer the time-window of interest, a …
