The micro computer expert system for high-speed photographic system has been built up. It include a body of specialized knowledge base and problem solving mechanism such as equation solver etc. about high speed photography such as, the object analysis, cameras installation, operation, lighting, etc. and makes that knowledge conveniently available to user working in high-speed photographic system planning. Backtracking involves replanning from the choice point of failure. The data base are build up from the camera manuals including the framing rate, lens focal length, film capacity, shuttering characteristics camera size, weight and ease of operation etc. The possibility of interfacing to the real world to monitor the progress of operation as well as to feedback the state of world are all discussed.
