An optical flow-based technique is proposed to estimate spacecraft angular velocity based on sequences of star-field images. It does not require star identification and can be thus used to also deliver angular rate information when attitude determination is not possible, as during platform de tumbling or slewing. Region-based optical flow calculation is carried out on successive star images pre...

The purpose of the study was to identify the relationships between segmental angular momentum and ball velocity between the following events: ball toss, maximal elbow flexion (MEF), racket lowest point (RLP), maximal shoulder external rotation (MER), and ball impact (BI). Ten tennis players performed serves recorded with a real-time motion capture. Mean angular momentums of the trunk, upper arm...

For general relativistic equilibrium stellar models (stationary axisymmetric asymptotically flat and convection-free) with differential rotation, it is shown that for a wide class of rotation laws the distribution of angular velocity of the fluid has a sign, say “positive”, and then both the dragging rate and the angular momentum density are positive. In addition, the “mean value” (with respect...

We study the amplification of rotation velocity with Sagnac interferometer based on concept weak-value amplification. By using a different scheme to perform probe in momentum space, we have demonstrated new weak measure protocol detect small by amplifying phase shift effect. At given maximum incident intensity initial spectrum, detection limit spectrometer and accuracy angular measurement, can ...
