    摘要: A passive optical speed and distance measuring system includes a pair of camera lenses positioned along a common baseline a predetermined distance apart and controlled by an operator to capture images of a target at different times. The camera lenses are focused on light sensitive pixel arrays which capture target images at offset positions in the line scans of the pixel arrays. A video signal processor with a computer determines the location of the offset positions and calculates the range to the target by solving the trigonometry of the triangle formed by the two camera lenses and the target. Once the range to the target is known at two different times the speed of the target is calculated.

    摘要: The initial movement of a spherical body is detected by detecting the intersection with a light beam emitted from trigger light illuminating portion 2 to trigger light-receiving portion 3, and as a result, measurement of time by an arithmetic processing unit is started. During flight, spherical body 1 intersects light beams emitted from surface velocity sensors 4 and 5, the reflected light therein is detected by these surface velocity sensors 4 and 5, and the surface velocity of spherical body 1 is then measured. Spherical body 1 continues in flight and intersects at least two light beams irradiated from multi-beam illuminating portion 6 which are detected by multi-beam light-receiving portion 7. Based on a signal from multi-beam light-receiving portion 7 the arithmetic processing unit measures the time of intersection of spherical body 1 with a light beam, and then calculates the angle of elevation, horizontal angle, velocity and surface velocity of spherical body 1 based on the aforementioned measured time period. Furthermore, this arithmetic processing unit also calculates the amount of directional rotation of spherical body 1 based on the aforementioned calculated angle of elevation, horizontal angle, velocity and surface velocity of spherical body 1.

    摘要: For passive range metering of moving vehicles a receiver is used having two detectors spaced apart and directed to the path of the vehicle which moves with constant speed and the length of which is known. The receiver measures the pass-through time of the image of the vehicle through the first detector and furthermore measures the traveling time of the image of the vehicle from one detector to the other. The distance E can be calculated by equation ##EQU1## wherein f is the focal distance of the receiver optics, Q.sub.t is the quotient of the measured time values, l is the length of the vehicle.

    摘要: Apparatus for measuring an aircraft's horizontal speed and height above ground without the need for airborne cooperative devices. Two ground level TV cameras separated by a measured distance and pointed at zenith are placed in line with the projection of the expected path of the aircraft. Speed is determined by measuring the time that it takes the aircraft to travel between the fields of view of the two TV cameras using zenith crossings as the reference points. Height is determined by correlating the speed with the time required to cross the field of view of either of the two cameras.

    摘要: Droplets from a liquid stream are directed between a pair of apertures and a light source, which is strobed at a selected frequency and directed toward the apertures. In one embodiment, the apertures are spaced less than a wavelength of the droplets apart and the light source is strobed at a frequency other than the frequency of the droplets. The time between when a first of the apertures is blocked by a droplet in the stream as indicated by the light being broken during a strobe and the time when a second of the apertures is blocked by another droplet when the light source is strobed is counted. This period of time will give the velocity of the droplets, and correction of the velocity is made, if the velocity of the droplets is not at the desired velocity, by changing the pressure, for example, of the manifold supplying the liquid stream until the desired velocity is obtained. In another embodiment, the apertures are spaced from each other a wavelength or an integral of the wavelength of the droplets, and the light source is strobed at the same frequency as the frequency at which the droplets are generated. The strobing frequency has its phase changed relative to the frequency of drop generation and the pressure of the stream changed until both of the apertures are blocked simultaneously. Any deviation from this indicates that the velocity of the droplets has changed and correction must be made.

    摘要: An electronic apparatus for measuring the time required for a vehicle to travel a predetermined distance such as a quarter mile. The exemplary embodiment described comprises pulse generating means for producing a pulse for each increment of distance traveled in combination with an integrating means for accumulating such pulses and producing a stop count signal when the output of the integrating means reaches a predetermined level. By adjusting a duty cycle of the individual pulses input to the integrating means, the predetermined point at which the stop count output is produced may be made to correspond to a desired predetermined value of traveled distance. Clock pulses are counted by a digital counter from a time determined by either manual or automatic start means until said stop count signal is produced at which time the counter is adapted to hold its contents until being reset. An indicator is also associated with the counter for visually displaying the contents of the counter indicating the elapsed time required for the vehicle to travel the predetermined distance as determined by the pulse width adjustment.
