Photo-Computer Technique for Design and Analysis of Personal Protective Equipment.

摘要

Combined use of multi-exposure photography and computer analysis provides a reliable technique for measuring a target area presented to or 'perceived' by a ballistic fragment array. 'Perceived' area is a parameter necessary for casualty reduction analysis of body armor and headgear. The Photo- Computer analysis procedure may be applied to design analysis of the photographs and data matrix. The data matrix can be represented by a series of polynomials or equations. Other applications of the photo-computer techniques include determination of helmet off-set, fit of clothing, comparison of two or more helmets, component interface and development of contour drawings.
