Plate Impact and Penetration at the Ballistic Launch Tube: Experiments

Yeh, Peter D.; Donahue, Emily D.; Miller, Timothy J.; Payne, Lloyd R.; Korbin, John P.; Teeter, Russell D.

This report details the data collected from plate impact experiments performed at the Ballistics Launch Tube (BLT) in May 2019. The experiments consisted of 62 shots of copper projectiles (cylindrical and ogive) impacting 1/4", 1/2", and 3/4" aluminum plates at varying velocities. An additional 14 shots of copper cylinders on a 1" steel plate were fired at varying velocities as a Taylor anvil test. We recorded videos of the impact events and resulting fragmentation using a multi-view system of three high speed cameras. The purpose of these tests was to collect high quality data from the multi-view camera system and create digital representations of the deformed target, projectile and fragments. This data is intended to be used as validation data set for high fidelity simulation codes. This report covers the experimental setup, diagnostics, and collected data. Data processing and analysis are underway and will be discussed in a separate report.

Segmentation certainty through uncertainty: Uncertainty-refined binary volumetric segmentation under multifactor domain shift

IEEE Computer Society Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition Workshops

Deep learning segmentation models are known to be sensitive to the scale, contrast, and distribution of pixel values when applied to Computed Tomography (CT) images. For material samples, scans are often obtained from a variety of scanning equipment and resolutions resulting in domain shift. The ability of segmentation models to generalize to examples from these shifted domains relies on how well the distribution of the training data represents the overall distribution of the target data. We present a method to overcome the challenges presented by domain shifts. Our results indicate that we can leverage a deep learning model trained on one domain to accurately segment similar materials at different resolutions by refining binary predictions using uncertainty quantification (UQ). We apply this technique to a set of unlabeled CT scans of woven composite materials with clear qualitative improvement of binary segmentations over the original deep learning predictions. In contrast to prior work, our technique enables refined segmentations without the expense of the additional training time and parameters associated with deep learning models used to address domain shift.

X-ray CT Scans - Set 3

Korbin, John P.; Korbin, John P.; Korbin, John P.

A collection of x-ray computed tomography scans of fossils from various external collaborators. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank the generosity of our collaboration partners -- without your willingness to take risks, to share knowledge and to passionately pursue STEM outreach this project would not have been possible. - Dr. Spencer Lucas Mr. Asher Lichtig New Mexico Museum of Natural History & Science
