A new displacement measurement technique is proposed in a stereovision setup, which uses the object of interest as the support of the correlation process. This procedure leads to a global approach to stereocorrelation. The method is presented in its general formulation and is then particularized to the case of non uniform rational B-splines (NURBS). The displacement eld is directly measured as a 3D eld expressed in a NURBS basis consistent with the existing geometric model. The kinematic measurements are validated against prescribed displacements of a machined Bézier patch. The feasibility in an industrial context is shown with the analysis of 3D displacement elds of a 2-m 2 automotive roof panel during a welding operation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
