System and method of determining material reaction or sensitivity using high-speed video frames

摘要

A system and method for evaluating the sensitivity of energetic substances or materials for transportation, storage, and in-process scenarios are disclosed. The disclosure discusses a system and method that use a high-speed video device, a CPU or computer, sensitivity equipment for testing and assessing the substance or material reaction or explosion sensitivities, such as an electrostatic discharge device or impact assessment device, and software for running a process or set of rules or instructions to be followed for quantifying and determining whether a reaction has occurred or not.

1. A method for evaluating a reaction event of an energetic material comprising:
capturing a plurality of image frames of a baseline reaction event using an image capturing device, wherein a baseline data set is obtained from the baseline reaction event and wherein the baseline data set does not comprise all information of the energetic material; storing the plurality of image frames of the baseline reaction event in computer readable memory; capturing a plurality of image frames of a trial reaction event using an image capturing device, wherein a trial data set is obtained from the trial reaction event and wherein the trial data set comprises information relating to the energetic material; storing the plurality of image frames of the trial reaction event in computer readable memory; quantifying the baseline data set and the trial data set, wherein the quantifying process further comprises the following identifiers:
calculating brightness from the plurality of image frames of the baseline reaction event and the trial reaction event;calculating the buoyancy from the plurality of image frames of the baseline reaction event and the trial reaction event;calculating the shape from the plurality of image frames of the baseline reaction event and the trial reaction event; andcalculating the uniformity from the plurality of image frames of the baseline reaction event and the trial reaction event; comparing the quantified trial data set to the quantified baseline data set; and determining whether a reaction event occurred based on the comparison of the quantified trial data set to the quantified baseline data set.
