PROANALYST® 2023 SOFTWARE

(BLASTER’S CUSTOM TOOLBOX, 1 USB LICENSE)

SKU: 1-50-06

THE COMPLETE SOFTWARE SOLUTION FOR VIDEO ANALYSIS!

MREL provides all Editions of ProAnalyst® 2023 to the Blasting and Explosives Industries worldwide and includes one USB License of ProAnalyst® 2023 – Blaster’s Custom Toolbox with each High Speed Camera sold.

ProAnalyst® 2023 assists blasters to measure the effects of changes in the blast design such as blasthole diameter, timing, burden/spacing, and stemming on the time of onset, and the velocity and trajectory of rock movement at the top and face of the blast.

ProAnalyst® 2023 allows blasters to import virtually any digital video and quickly measure and track time, position, distance, velocity, acceleration and other rock characteristics within that video. Analysis results can be instantly graphed and reviewed, compared against external data, and can even be exported to PowerPoint® presentations, printer-friendly reports, and HTML web pages to bring your blast design optimization project to completion.

If you want to transmit trigger commands to your instrumentation either manually from your remote location, or automatically from the event being recorded, over long distances, or across difficult terrain, then the most practical triggering solution is the PWT™ Portable Wireless Trigger.

SPECIFICATIONS

Blaster’s Custom Toolbox Professional Toolbox 3-D Professional Toolbox
Automatically track one feature by defining and setting a feature template, or manually track up to three features by placing track points
Track unlimited features of interest.  Allows for feature rotation, interpolation through obstructions, and constructing stick models between features with distances and angles.
Standard brightness, contrast, gamma, and exponential/log adjustments, invert the image, or convert it to grayscale.
60+ advanced image processing filters, from arithmetic operations and binary thresholds, to edge detection and background removal, all with adjustable parameters.
Create a 2-axis graph of one motion data quantity against time.  Chose from quantities created in other toolkits, like feature velocity, particle count, contour area, angle, etc.  Save your graph playback as a bitmap sequence.
Simplified 2-D scale, origin, cartesian XY axes.
Advaned 2-D scale, origin, cartesian XY axes, rotated and tilted fields of view.
Remove unwanted shake and vibration from video.  Idal for airborne testing, frequency analysis, drop test, and correcting hand-held jitter.
Add notes to your videos.  Annotate with shapes and text.  Export data, analysis, notes, and annotations to a multi-slide PowerPoint presentation or an HTML web page, or send them directly to a printer.
Track unlimited features of interest. Search for special target types, adjust all advanced search parameters, and import tracking data from other toolkits to place virtual points in the video.
Track one or more edges along user-set channels with adjustable search types, channels widths, and thresholds.
Track particles within a region of interest under user-set parameters, like min./max. area and particle colour.  Extract particle size, count, eccentricity, and average speed.
Trace regions of similar intensity with user-set parameters and compute size, area, parameter, center of gravity, and more.
For 2-D Fields of view where the camera axis is not perpendicular to the field of view.
Create 2 and 3-axis graphs of multiple motion data quantities.  Apply 40+ graph filters, perform a one-click FFT, import external data for comparison, and export motion data to text or Excel files.
Combine two feature tracking data sets from the same event with a 3-D Stereo Calibration to produce 3-D motion data.  Requires 2 cameras; ideal for tests with moderate 3-D movement.  Contains Full Parametric Feature Tracking.
Perform a weighted merge of multiple 3-D motion data sets to construct a 3-D model of an event.  Requires 3 or more cameras.
For calibrating pairs of videos from two cameras that recorded the same event.  Set the scale, origin, axes, and positions of your cameras in a 3-D measurement volume.

SCOPE OF DELIVERY

Included with all Blaster’s Ranger 3™ High Speed Cameras.
