hi all
I have an image of a mechnaical cam from a linotype printing press.
I want to get angular dispalcemetns, angular velocities and angular accelerations of this cam from the image.
Is this possible. Does anyone know any software where I can get an image and then get a set of coordinaates of the perimeter for analysis. My rough guess says that if I had 500 or so coordinates I could get a very good approximation of the cam.
so is there any software out there that can get me the coordinates I seek. Is there other software in existence which I can use to analyse the cam. Since this is a 2D image, perhaps a CAD program could analyse the coordinates if they were in dxf format of possibly csv?
my background is coding and web design. This is for a friend who has been working on this 'project; for almost a year and going mad. (yes he has a lot of spare time!). Thus the finer points of mechanical cam analysis and software are actually lost on me
thanks in advance if you are able to help
