Abstract :
Car body deformation modeling plays a very important role in crash accident analyses, as well as the determination of the energy absorbed by the deformation and the corresponding energy equivalent speed /EES/. These parameters are of key importance, but on the other hand their precise determination is a very difficult task. However, by utilizing the results of the crash tests and the method of digital image processing, it is possible to state the absorbed energy through the digital processing of the photos.
