Abstract
The disclosure extends to systems, methods and computer program products for automatically determining whether an energetic substance or a material has experienced a reaction (“go”) or a non-reaction (“no-go”) during an insult from an impact, friction, ESD or other small-scale sensitivity testing device. The systems, methods, and computer program products of the disclosure use a video capturing device, a CPU or computer, sensitivity test equipment, and a set of rules or instructions to be followed for quantifying and determining whether a reaction has occurred or not.

29. A system for evaluating a reaction event of a material comprising:
-
an image capturing device that captures one or more image frames of the reaction event; a storage device coupled to the imaging capturing device for storing the one or more image frames in memory; at least one sensitivity testing device for conducting a test on the material; and a computing device comprising one or more processors; wherein the storage device stores instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the processors to, quantify one or more reaction event characteristics, wherein the instructions further cause the one or more processors to calculate one or more identifiers comprising brightness, buoyancy, shape, and uniformity of the reaction event. - View Dependent Claims (30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56)
