Experimental Investigation of Dynamic out of Plane Displacement Error in 3D Digital Image Correlation

Abstract

With the development and implementation of digital image correlation (DIC) in static and dynamic experimentation, a deeper understanding of the variation of measurement error due to the experimental setup is sought. In this investigation, dynamic rigid body motion is measured using two high speed digital CMOS cameras paired with 3D digital image correlation (3D-DIC), a single point laser vibrometer, and a single axis accelerometer. To determine measurement error, a comparison is made between the measured displacement, velocity, and acceleration in the frequency domain. Prior to dynamic testing, characterization experiments with no motion were performed to determine potential sources of noise in a static environment. It was shown that the camera cooling fans and source of lighting can contribute to measurement noise. Dynamic experiments were designed to investigate the potential effect camera angle, sampling rate, and shutter speed have on measurement error. In addition to the 3D-DIC setup, speckle patterns with varying size, distribution, and randomness were investigated. Results show that the 3D-DIC setup and speckle pattern characteristics can affect the measurement error and measurement quality

High-speed 3D digital image correlation vibration measurement: Recent advancements and noted limitations

“…Vibration measurement utilizing high-speed 3 dimensional digital image correlation (3D-DIC) has grown as an area of research over the past decade [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]. The potential benefits of full-field non-contacting vibration measurement are highly desirable for numerous reasons.…”

Configuration optimization of photogrammetry system based on spectral radius for on-orbit measurement

“…Studies have been devoted to the improvement in accuracy, robustness, and efficiency of photogrammetry. Ehrhardt et al (2013) revealed that the accuracy of photogrammetry largely depends on the parameters of the photographic system, including camera angle, shutter speed, the amplitude of measured displacement, and so forth. Li and Wang (2013) discussed the influences of the baseline distance, optical axis, baseline angle, projection angle on the measurement accuracy in detail.…”
