Method of analyzing three dimensional ejecta with depth characteristics

A method of analyzing a plurality of three dimensional (3D) ejecta, the method comprising the steps of:

• providing a three dimensional photography system comprising a first plurality of pulsed laser beams, a single trigger therefor, a stage for holding a dynamic event to be observed and whereat the first plurality of pulsed laser beams converge, a recombinant section for combining the first plurality of pulsed laser beams into a single pulsed laser beam after the stage, and a single image sensor for receiving the first plurality of pulsed laser beams as a like plurality of subframes for a second plurality of time steps, wherein each subframe corresponds to a respective to individual pulsed laser beam in each respective time step;
• combining the first plurality subframes for each time step into a respective frame whereby a second plurality of frames is available;
• creating a second plurality of N×N×M arrays of N×M pixels for each respective frame;
• combining the second plurality of N×N×M arrays for each time step to create a three dimensional N×N×M×dT video of a dynamic event observed on the stage;
• and
• kinematically analyzing the three dimensional N×N×M×dT to video of the event determine dynamic characteristics of the plural 3D ejecta resulting from the dynamic event.

A method of determining properties of a three dimensional (3D) ejectum resulting from a dynamic event, the method comprising the steps of:

• providing a three dimensional photography system comprising a first plurality of pulsed laser beams, a single trigger therefor, a stage for holding a dynamic event expelling at least one 3D ejectum to be observed and whereat the first plurality of pulsed laser beams converge, a recombinant section for combining the first plurality of pulsed laser beams into a single pulsed laser beam after the stage, and a single image sensor having at least 8 megapixels and being configured for receiving the first plurality of pulsed laser beams as a like plurality of subframes for a second plurality of time steps, wherein each subframe corresponds to a respective to individual pulsed laser beam in each respective time step;
• combining the first plurality subframes for each time step into a respective frame whereby a second plurality of frames is available;
• creating a second plurality of N×N×M arrays of N×M pixels for each respective frame;
• combining the second plurality of N×N×M arrays for each time step to create a three dimensional N×N×M×dT video of a dynamic event observed on the stage;
• and
• kinematically analyzing the three dimensional N×N×M×dT to video of the dynamic event determine dynamic characteristics and depth characteristics of at least one 3D ejectum resulting from the dynamic event.
