Gear teeth

  • Started bytaking a picture of the gears. I loaded it in Mathematica and added a grid for reference.
far view
  • I then zoomed on one of the two gears:
close view
  • I clamped the pixel values to get a good black and white image. I also evaluated the center point and divided the gear in 12 segments.
gear BW
  • Then I followed the edge of the BW region and surimposed it to make sure it matched.
edge check
  • here is the edge by itself
edge only
  • and finally all the edges rotated back over the same segment.
single segment
  • Next step will be to fit a curve and animate the gears..

I you are interested. contact me,

Luc
