Accurate measurements in digital image correlation (DIC) depend on coordinate selection. Using global coordinates and subpixel methods improves displacement accuracy for large deformations and rotations.

Area of Science:

  • * Mechanics of Materials
  • * Experimental Mechanics
  • * Digital Image Processing

Background:

  • * Digital Image Correlation (DIC) is a widely used technique for measuring specimen displacements.
  • * Accurate correlation between undeformed and loaded images relies on precise localization of image subsets.
  • * The choice of coordinate systems (global vs. local) and subpixel estimation methods significantly impacts measurement fidelity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • * To investigate the influence of coordinate system choice on the accuracy of DIC measurements.
  • * To demonstrate the feasibility and validate the use of local coordinates in DIC analysis.
  • * To highlight the importance of subpixel displacement estimation for reliable results.

Main Methods:

  • * Employed the least-squares method for coordinate selection and subset localization.

  • * Utilized both global and local shape functions for correlating image subsets.
  • * Validated findings through mathematical modeling, simulated data, and experimental measurements.

    • Main Results:

    • * Demonstrated that proper coordinate selection is crucial for reliable DIC measurements.
    • * Showcased the feasibility of using local coordinates, particularly when validated with appropriate methods.
    • * Confirmed that global coordinates are advantageous for accurately capturing large rigid body rotations and deformations.
    • * Subpixel displacement estimation methods were essential for handling non-integer pixel displacements.

    Conclusions:

    • * The selection of appropriate coordinates is fundamental to achieving accurate and reliable results in digital image correlation.
    • * Both global and local coordinate systems have their merits, with global often preferred for large rotations/deformations.
    • * Subpixel displacement estimation techniques are critical for enhancing measurement precision in DIC.
