Title: arcjetCV: an open-source software to analyze material ablation
(Submitted on 17 Apr 2024)
Abstract: arcjetCV is an open-source Python software designed to automate time-resolved measurements of heatshield material recession and recession rates from arcjet test video footage. This new automated and accessible capability greatly exceeds previous manual extraction methods, enabling rapid and detailed characterization of material recession for any sample with a profile video. arcjetCV automates the video segmentation process using machine learning models, including a one-dimensional (1D) Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) to infer the time-window of interest, a two-dimensional (2D) CNN for image and edge segmentation, and a Local Outlier Factor (LOF) for outlier filtering. A graphical user interface (GUI) simplifies the user experience and an application programming interface (API) allows users to call the core functions from scripts, enabling video batch processing. arcjetCV's capability to measure time-resolved recession in turn enables characterization of non-linear processes (shrinkage, swelling, melt flows, etc.), contributing to higher fidelity validation and improved modeling of heatshield material performance.
