Greetings:
I have a scientist who needs to determine the area of the emitting
surface of a radiant soot cloud in the combustion chamber of an
optically accessible internal combustion engine. The measurement needs
to be done at a rate of at least 4kHz, preferrably 15kHz, with a
resolution of at least 1 part in 256, preferrably 1024 or so.
We have considered a high frame rate low resolution camera, but these
are somewhat expensive, and we would like to investigate cheaper
alternatives before attempting to justify the purchase of such a camera.
We plan to image the soot cloud onto some suitable detector or camera.
The individual pixel data would be compared against a threshold in
post-processing, to reveal the area of the image.
What other methods might be able to return the same information?
Thanks for input.
Good day!
