Abstract:
The present article shares with the scientific community several image sets used for experimentally validating the noise-induced bias on different Digital Image Correlation (DIC) formulations, as reported in Baldi et al. [1]. These sets are provided with a description of the experimental setup used for image acquisition. The basic idea is to acquire a series of images obtained by rigidly translating the target, where incremental displacement is of the order of a small fraction of a pixel. This condition requires a high-precision control of the target position through the tests. Moreover, the noise content of each image set is modulated using a statistical approach that uncouples the intensity field from the standard deviation. Lastly, the images are acquired with different exposure conditions to analyze the gray tone gradient effect on noise-induced bias.
