摘要
Using the phase shifting and the grating projection method, the kinematical parameters of dragonfly in free flight were measured. In our experiment, during projecting parallel sine fringes on the dragonfly's wings with a projector, the high speed CCD TV camera (1000 frames per second) recorded the dragonfly and the fringes projected on the dragonfly's wing, then the shape of the dragonfly's wings in every frame could be gutted using SCPM (Spatial-Carrier Phase Measurement) method. According to this data, we designed a program which can show the change of the gesture of the dragonfly's wing, the 3-D figure, the contour line and the curve of any transversal of the dragonfly's wing at any given time. From the figures of the 3-D deformation, we also can see that the deformation is not completely negative, it must could be control by the dragonfly via the veins on the wing.
