JoshTheEngineer | Visualizing Formula 1 Engine Heat @JoshTheEngineer | Uploaded April 2018 | Updated October 2024, 49 minutes ago.
In this video, we will go through how to visualize small heat disturbances from the engine heat of a Formula 1 race car! I'm going to be using a video from Red Bull Racing back when they were promoting the COTA race, along with a MATLAB code called PIVLab (links to everything below).
===== NOTES =====
→ You can also skip the masking step and just vector validate afterwards, and that works pretty well too.
→ If you do want to mask, make sure to mask both the A and B images, and you probably won't need to do any vector validation afterwards if you're careful. I went through it again doing this, and I got some nice results.
→ I tried to see if there was a way to get rid of the mask when outputting the video, but I wasn't able to find a way to do this. If you figure it out, let me know. If that's not a feature, I might try to go into the code and put that option in myself.
- Thanks again to Jenna and Wayne for their help, which took time away from our coveted Wednesday Ninja Warrior night.
