DIET

Digital Image Evaluation Tool

DIET is a software tool specially developed for the evaluation of flash x-ray (FXR) pictures of stationary shaped charge tests. DIET semi-automatically detects shaped charge jet particles and automatically determines all important jet characteristics like the mass profile M(v), cumulative length, particle breakup times and positions as well as drift velocities. Evaluation results can be visualized, exported to third-party software or be used as an input for an analysis in MAP. Additionally, data from diagrams in images can easily be digitized and extracted.

Applications

DIET is primarily used for the evaluation of single, double and orthogonal FXR images of shaped charge jets.

Evaluation of SC jet characteristics

Determination of SC jet / particle data for terminal ballistics simulations (e.g. in MAP)

Data extraction from diagrams in images

Specifications

DIET offers several advanced features

Determination of mass profile M(v), cumulative length, particle breakup times and positions as well as drift velocities

Two different methods for automatic particle detection (gradient descent and blackening similarity)

Manual contour provision

Optional reference wire scaling for enhanced accuracy

Least-squares fit for virtual origin determination
