Application Notes for specific software features and application specific work cases
Calibration in Vic-3D is well automated but certain situations can lead to problems with either high calibration scores, or a failure to calibrate at all. This article lists some common causes for eac...
By default, Vic-3D uses the Best Plane Fit to assign a coordinate system. This option calculates a transform into the best fit plane of the surface. Sometimes it is preferred to leave the data in c...
This guide lays out the steps for combining 3D DIC data with temperature data from an IR camera. The basic parts of the procedure include: ● Camera Selection & Setup ● System & Test Setup ● VIC-Snap S...
Vic-3D 8 and later have a new calibration option using Variable Ray Origin (VRO) camera models to eliminate measurement bias when imaging through refractive surfaces. This is especially useful for set...
An overview and setup guide of the triggering methods including Digital Pulse(or TTL Capture) and Hardware Triggering, used to obtain synchronized data during the acquisition process, available throug...
The principle behind using multi-view registration from rigid motions is to calibrate multiple systems separately, use rigid motions of a speckle pattern to determine the geometric transformations bet...
The linked PDF details the procedure for correcting SEM drift and distortion in Vic-2D. The ZIP file contains a demo set of distortion correction data together with an image list....
Particularly common with high heat applications, sometimes we must view through a window, glass, viewing pane. There are just a few things to keep in mind when doing this: 1. Keep the window as planar...
There are several instances in which the use of the External Orientation Calibration can be helpful: 1. Large measurement fields for which a large enough grid is not practical. 2. The cameras have bee...
Computing Cylindrical Transformations The cylindrical coordinates transformation in Vic-3D is used to orient the data in an appropriate orientation for looking at cylindrical data. This transformation...
