BPS "Showdown" - PRIZES

dj89, I will get your video looked at tonight.

Thanks

Here is the analysis for dj89. Over five seconds of video, I counted 65 actual balls fired, for an average of 13 bps. The total over 8 seconds was 104, again averaging at 13 bps, while the fastest individual second that I found was 15 bps. Do note that the selection begins at the very beginning of the first shot, and it may be hard to see depending on your monitor resolution; it is there. Also, I should also say that the waveform is a little sloppy, due to some impact noise from the paint hitting the target. However, the latency betwixt the shot and the impact was only a few centiseconds, so there is not a problem with hits actually overlapping subsequent shots, which were much more latent. However, I should stress again that for anyone who might make a future submission, please do not fire at a target, as it will, in many cases, cause enough overlap that it is indecipherable.

Here is the image:

Not that I dont trust you but can someone else do it to? I think the balls hitting the target got mixed in with the shots fired. Thanks

Certainly it is best to have multiple persons analyze the data. However, in order to demonstrate that the waveform is good enough to be analyzed, here is another image that shows a portion of the waveform at a higher zoom ratio. You see, it is easier to read when magnified. However, I can't really post the whole 5 seconds at this size, as it would be much too large of an image. That is why it may not seem as clear to you as it is when I do the analysis in the program, at whatever zoom ratio I need.

Observe in this image of a segment of the waveform how there are two peaks per shot. The first peak, which is the actual shot, is apparent to be of greater intensity than the peak representing the sound of the impact, which occurs slightly after the initial shot-peak. This uniformity of peaks, and the fact that the second peak is of a significantly lower intensity, allows me to accurately analyze this particular waveform, even given the "pollution," or extraneous noise.



Again, I would like backup, if possible. But, if there is none, I hope that this will at least demonstrate that this particular waveform is salvageable.

Thanks rx2, Beers on me

Steelsoul was helping out for awhile there judgeing, but it was so slow hes taking a

rx2 if you want to post full res pics let me know and I will PM ya a password for an ftp site and you can just link it if ya want to bother with it. Other wise thanks for takeing your time to judge this, you rock

Anybody else need help posting a vid let me know and I can host it, 24meg max.

UMMMM pay attention Folks. This has been said many times. DONT SHOOT AT A TARGET

Hey what happened to "bound for glory" I thought he was gonna get in.[can I get in?] Im still sitting on my clean 15bps vid

Hey dj what input ya running on the x? and if you and rx2 dont mind just for fun flip it to hyper mode and see what ya do at same input just curious.

Runing 850 in to it, if I can find some more paint I'm going to do a mech one.

[rx2]

Thanks for the offer. With less then a week left, though, I may not need to do a full-res image. I will let you know

Also, if he wants to do a hyper mode video, I wouldn't mind taking a look at it.

hopefully that works

edit- just watched, sorry for the terrible quality, can try to get better if needed, also not shure if i have 8 seconds of up to speed shooting, oh well

Here are all the entries so far. Does anything seem out of the ordinary to you guys? Ask and ye shall recieve....I guess that saying is not so true.

How come I cant get a graph like everyone elses? I think mine may produce similar results to monstermags w/ an impact blip that is distingishable from a shot fired.

[rx2]

You shouldn't be so paranoid. No one is out to get you. The reason why I didn't do the same analysis is that yours was so bad that there was little point in even trying to decipher it. I clearly explained that, and I also cleary explained that there would be problems with people whose videos were taken while they shot at a target. Also, you were acting very nonchalant about it, as if you weren't interested in keeping it as an official entry.

The link for your video is not working. If you repost the video, I will provide a full-res image, utilizing the FTP space offered by Beemer.

MY Fault

The link for your video is not working.

Ummm ya that would be my fault. Sorry about that

I PMd him if he wants to upload it again.

I dont even think I have the vid anymore on my computer. Its all good. I wasnt really wanting to use it for my entry although if it was capable of being determined, I would use it. I was basically just curious for myself too.

No big deal guys. I didnt realize the vid wasnt available anymore. Thanks for everyones help. I appreciate it. Cheers to the winner.

Any rulings on this video? It looks to me to be of too poor quality to verify one shot/one pull. There just aren't enough frames there.
