Abstract
A new method for measuring aerodynamic forces and moments is presented. In this method only a single image stream by a single video camera is required to measure forces and moments of a full 6 DOF motion of flying object. To minimize the error from the geometric distortion in images which is from the optical system, we applied the correction using the distortion model represented by polynomials of angles from the center of image. By estimating the distortion error in aerodynamic forces the importance of correction is found and the basic feasibility of the present method is suggested.
