Infrared thermography using high-speed infrared camera has been recognized as a powerful method for various potential applications, such as nondestructive inspection, failure analysis, stress analysis, and medical fields, due to non-contact, high-speed, and high spatial resolution at various temperature ranges. In this investigation, damage evolution due to generation of hot spots on railway brake disc was investigated using the infrared thermography method. A high-speed infrared camera was used to measure the surface temperature of brake disc as well as for in-situ monitoring of hot spot evolution. From the thermographic images, the observed hot spots and thermal damage of railway brake disc during braking operation were qualitatively analyzed. Moreover, in this investigation, the previous experimental and theoretical studies on hot spots phenomenon were reviewed, and the current experimental results were introduced and compared with theoretical prediction.

This paper proposes a method for measurement three-dimensional trajectories of bubbles generated around a swimmer's arms from stereo high-speed camera videos. This method is based on two techniques: two-dimensional trajectory estimation in single-camera images and trajectory pair matching in stereo-camera images. The two-dimensional trajectory is estimated by block matching using similarity of bubble shape and probability of bubble displacement. The trajectory matching is achieved by a consistensy test using epipolar constraint in multiple frames. The experimental results in two-dimensional trajectory estimation showed the estimation accuracy of 47% solely by the general optical flow estimation, whereas 71% taking the bubble displacement into consideration. This concludes bubble displacement is an efficient aspect in this estimation. In three-dimensional trajectory estimation, bubbles were visually captured moving along the flow generated by an arm; which means an efficient material for swimmers to swim faster.

When driven with a short (less than 30$\mu\textrm{s}$) low-energy pulse, the semiconductor bridge(SCB) produces a hot plasma that ignites explosive. The shape of plasma was observed using ultra high speed camera, the generation and the duration time of plasma were estimated by analyzing the ultra high speed camera image. The more energy supplied, the sooner the formation of the plasma was, and the size of the plasma was increased in proportion. The voltage variation of the bridge was measured and analyzed by comparing with the ultra high speed camera image.

This study introduces a new approach to a falling ball viscometer by using a high speed motion camera to measure the viscosity of both Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids from the velocity-time data. This method involves capturing continuous photographs of the entire falling motion of the ball as the ball accelerates from the rest to the terminal velocity state. The velocity of a falling ball was determined from the distance traversed by the ball by examining video tape frame by frame using the marked graduations on the surface of the cylinder. Each frame was pre-set at 0.01. Glycerin 74% was used for Newtonian solution, while aqueous solutions of Polyacrylamide and Carboxymethyl Cellulose were for non-Newtonian solutions. The experimental viscosity data were in good agreements with the results obtained from a rotating Brookfield viscometer.

Alignment failure sometimes occurs during the rubbing process because the rubbing cloth comes in direct contacts with the surface of the alignment film. A number of researches observed and evaluated the surface of the alignment film after the rubbing process had been reported. The real-time rubbing process has not been observed directly yet, though. In this study, the movement of the piles of the rubbing cloth during the rubbing process was observed with a high-speed camera. Furthermore, the relationship between the rubbing scratch on the alignment films and the movement of the pile was investigated. It was found that the movement of the pile affected the rubbing scratches.

The characteristics of liquefied butane spray are expected to be different from conventional diesel fuel spray, because a flash boiling spray is expected when the surround pressure is below the saturated vapor pressure of the butane(0.23MPa 98K). The axial velocities. radial velocities. and size distributions in butane sprays were measured with PDPA(Phase Doppler Particle Analyzer) system. Sprays were macroscopically observed by using the high speed camera in case that the surround pressure is 0.37MPa and 0.15MPa. respectively. Compared with the conventional spray. the reversed results were investigated when the surround pressure is below the saturated vapor pressure of the butane.

This paper presents an integrated machining error compensation method based on captured images of tool deflection shapes in flat end-milling processes. This approach allows us to avoid modeling machining characteristics (cutting forces, tool deflections and machining errors etc.) and accumulating calculation errors induced by several simulations. For this, a high-speed camera captured images of real deformed tool shapes which were cutting under given machining conditions. Using image processes and a machining error model, it is possible to estimate tool deflection in cutting conditions modeled and to compensate for machining errors using an iterative algorithm correcting tool paths. This corrected tool path can effectively reduce machining errors in the flat end-milling process. Experiments are carried out to validate the approaches proposed in this paper. The proposed error compensation method can be effectively implemented in a real machining situation, producing much smaller errors.

In electric railway, image monitoring using high speed camera provides reliable, timely information of wear and geometry status, important in taking decisions for overhead contact wire maintenance. The contribution of this research is the development of a simple real-time monitoring system for use in measurement subsystem of contact wire and geometry of overhead contact wire in electric railway. The system has been consists of a high speed CMOS camera with resolution $1024{\times}1280$ pixels, line type laser source and PC-based image acquisition system with PCI Express slot. Vision acquisition software have been used in application programming interface for image acquisition, display, and storage with a frequency of sampling of 500 acquisitions per second.

We have developed and tested a CCD camera (100 $\times$ 100 pixels) system for observing Ha images of the solar flares with time resolution> 25 msec. The 512 $\times$ 512 pixels image of CCD camera at 2 Mpixels/sec can be recorded at the rate of more than 5 frame/sec while 100 $\times$ 100 pixels area image can be obtained 40 frames/sec. The 100 $\times$ 100 pixels image of CCD camera corresponds to 130 $\times$ 130 arc - $sec^2$ of the solar disk.
