Real-time flying shape detection of yacht sails based on strain measurements

The flying shape detection of boat sails whilst racing may offer valuable insight into the sail design and performance. This paper describes a monitoring system based on fiber optic strain gauge sensors used to reconstruct in real time the form of a sail. For this purpose, a developed and implemente...
