Code optimization of speckle reduction algorithms for image processing of rocket motor holograms
codeoptimization00kaes.pdf (3.419Mb)Abstract
This thesis supplements and updates previous research completed in the digital analysis
of rocket motor combustion chamber holographic images. In particular this thesis deals with
the software code optimization of existing automatic data retrieval algorithms that are used to
extract useful particle information from the holograms using a microcomputer-based imaging
system. Two forms of optimization were accomplished, the application of an optimizing
FORTRAN compiler to the existing FORTRAN programs and the complete rewrite of the
programs in the C language using an optimizing compiler. The overall results achieved were
a reduction in executable program size and a significant decrease in program execution speed.
