Typical applications include automotive crash and airbag testing, engine combustion and fuel spray analysis, welding and laser processing, electrical discharge and plasma visualization, material deformation and fracture analysis, fluid dynamics, shock-wave visualization, and aerospace and defense testing. Advanced imaging and analysis techniques such as Digital Image Correlation (DIC), schlieren imaging, PIV, synchronized waveform recording, and two-color temperature analysis can further convert high-speed video into quantitative engineering data.
