About the book
This handbook teaches you to plan, record and analyze high-speed video as a measurement, not as a picture. It was written for the PETS one-day High-Speed Photography and Scientific Imaging course and works the same way in person or online. Ten chapters in four parts run from simple ideas to advanced methods: camera fundamentals and sensors, frame rate, exposure, lenses, triggering, measurement planning, video analysis and uncertainty, and Schlieren and shadowgraph imaging. Each chapter includes worked examples, key equations, practical exercises, a quiz and a laboratory record.
