Abstract

The idea of semiautomatic computer-aided processing of photos as applied to the problem of external ballistics, namely, determination of aerodynamic characteristics of flying objects from trajectory data, is put forward. The impetus to write this article is the development of an original software product that was used to advantage in processing data of full-scale experiments with the aim of creating a photo database of ballistic experiments performed at the Ioffe Physicotechnical Institute. This software is integrated into the Arkhimed information-retrieval system used to control this database. The advantages of the semiautomatic approach over “manual” measurements and the fully automatic version are indicated.
