TAVIS
The Tracking and Viscosity Inference System turns first-order response into an observable computer-vision experiment. A YOLO11m detector and Kalman filter estimate falling-sphere velocity, while Faxén corrections connect the tracked motion to fluid viscosity.
- Dataset
- 1,100+ labeled frames
- Detection
- mAP@0.5 ≈ 0.99
- Method
- YOLO + Kalman filtering
