Abstract:To address issues such as low accuracy and poor noise resistance in shock wave front parameter extraction, this paper proposes a high-precision extraction method based on energy-focused adaptive scanning. This method innovatively combines nearest-neighbor frame subtraction with cross-correlation analysis to synergistically suppress background noise and fireball cloud noise, enabling preliminary extraction of shock wavefront contour information. Building upon this foundation, it leverages the energy concentration characteristics of shock waves by constructing search boxes and integrating pixel brightness within identical radii. Combined with inverse differential techniques for precise gradient peak localization, this approach accurately captures shock wavefront positions. Results demonstrate that this method enables automatic detection of shock wave feature points, effectively overcoming noise and asymmetry interference. Compared to conventional algorithms, the extracted results show a 28% improvement in spatial uniformity and a 94% reduction in distance standard deviation, exhibiting high reliability and engineering applicability.
