ABSTRACT

The camera mounted on the geotechnical centrifuge at Rensselaer is a Phantom v5.1 HI-G manufactured by Vision Research. It provides 8-bit image depth and records at 1200 frames per second at a full resolution of 1024 × 1024 pixels. The frame rate may be increased up to 95,000 frames per second by lowering the resolution of the video stream. It contains 8 GB of non-volatile internal memory and can capture 6.67 seconds at maximum resolution and frame rate.
