The effect of out-of-plane motion on 2D and 3D digital image correlation measurements

Abstract

a b s t r a c tThe effect of out-of-plane motion (including out-of-plane translation and rotation) on two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) digital image correlation measurements is demonstrated using basic theoretical pinhole image equations and experimentally through synchronized, multi-system measurements. Full-field results obtained during rigid body, out-of-plane motion using a singlecamera vision system with (a-1) a standard f55mm Nikon lens and (a-2) a single Schneider-Kreuznach Xenoplan telecentric lens are compared with data obtained using a two-camera stereovision system with standard f55mm Nikon lenses.Results confirm that the theoretical equations are in excellent agreement with experimental measurements. Specifically, results show that (a) a single-camera, 2D imaging system is sensitive to out-of-plane motion, with in-plane strain errors (a-1) due to out-of-plane translation being proportional to DZ/Z, where Z is the distance from the object to the pin hole and DZ the out-of-plane translation displacement, and (a-2) due to out-of-plane rotation are shown to be a function of both rotation angle and the image distance Z; (b) the telecentric lens has an effective object distance, Z eff , that is 50 Â larger than the 55 mm standard lens, with a corresponding reduction in strain errors from 1250 ms/mm of outof-plane motion to 25 ms/mm; and (c) a stereovision system measures all components of displacement without introducing measurable, full-field, strain errors, even though an object may undergo appreciable out-of-plane translation and rotation.

Volume changes in a filled elastomer studied via digital image correlation

“…To reduce the effect of the out of plane displacements on the measured displacement field [36], quasi-telecentric lenses were used for both cameras. Figure 1 shows the experimental setup.…”

A Review of Surface Deformation and Strain Measurement Using Two-Dimensional Digital Image Correlation

“…Lastly, an optimized pattern such as the printed type on the specimen surface was proposed to get more reproducible results. In the same year, Sutton et al [57] examined the effect of out-of-plane movements, such as translation and rotation, on the two-dimensional DIC measurements. Again, they stated that the tele-centric lens can effectively minimize the out-of-plane movements.…”

Experimental identification of the overall elastic rigidities of superconducting windings

“…The experimental implementation was performed by VIC3D (see www.correlatedsolutions.com) stereo-correlation software and the camera calibration was conducted for each face measurement [7,8]. The two stereovision systems have been calibrated using a target with 12 × 15 points spaced by 15 mm.…”
