Pendulum Tracking

Using OpenCV, I made my own script to track the motion of a pendulum in for my PHY180 (Mechanics) lab. The script detects the pendulum bob and track its motion in real-time for a directory of videos (samples taken) using cv2. The module supports:

1. Generating plots for amplitude vs time, period vs time, period vs length, etc.

2. Performing curve fitting using scipy with uncertainties and residuals.

3. Calculating quantities such as period and Q-factor.

View the source code and README.md for more information on how to use the script. This page has not been fully written yet. Please check back later for updates.
