Raw high-speed schlieren footage of acoustic waves in air for subsequent computational analysis and audio recovery

The dataset presented here comprises 79 raw, unprocessed video files obtained from the high-speed schlieren imaging of acoustic waves in air, each with a corresponding metadata file. The majority of the footage was recorded at 50,000 frames per second, with each condition filmed for a duration of 20 ms. The dataset includes footage corresponding to a wide range of signals, in terms of waveform, frequency, and amplitude, as well as varied imaging parameters (exposure, frame rate, spatial resolution). This Data in Brief article is to accompany the research article “Visualization of acoustic waves in air and subsequent audio recovery with a high-speed schlieren imaging system: Experimental and computational development of a schlieren microphone” [1].
