A rifle bullet punching through a wine glass, captured with the help of the chronograph
enjoys the challenge of photographing bullets impacts, and has created an open-source ballistic chronograph to help achieve this. Whether you need to hit a target at over a mile, check if a paintball gun is safe for opposing players, or photograph high-velocity objects, you need a way to measure that velocity. In the study of ballistics, you can do very little without knowing the velocity of a projectile.
Arduino camera with bullet upgrade#
Work is already underway to upgrade the rig to the new Raspberry Pi HQ Camera, which we’ve discussed before.Ĭontinue reading “Bullet Time On A Budget With The Raspberry Pi” → Posted in digital cameras hacks, Raspberry Pi Tagged bullet, bullet time, Raspberry pi camera, Raspberry Pi HQ camera It also has the benefit, compared to a DSLR rig, that the cameras can be mounted much more closely together due to their small size. With some custom mods and tweaks, was eventually able to get things to a passable state. One of the biggest problems was inaccuracy in the camera assemblies, as they were stuck on with thermal paste.
Initial results were jerky and unappealing, but persevered. Whereas just one camera in one of his professional setups may cost well over $1000, this entire rig was likely built for less than that in its entirety. Rather then relying on a bank of expensive DSLRs, decided to try building a bullet-time camera rig out of 15 Raspberry Pis, and the standard Raspberry Pi Camera. is no stranger to a high-end setup, but wanted to see what could be done at the lower end of the market. These days, of course, things have moved along somewhat. Bullet time became the hottest new cinema effect after it burst on the scene in The Matrix (1999). Back then, the cutting edge special effects required serious hardware and serious processing power to do the job.
