Application Notes for specific cases and general hardware set-up
Overview Starting with Vic-Snap 9, Basler Ace USB3 cameras are supported in Vic-Snap. This is brief guide on how to install the cameras and to adjust them for highest frame rate. Installing Pylon soft...
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...
Overview When heat sources or hot surfaces are present in a DIC testing setup, refractive heat waves may distort your image; this distortion is not always apparent but it can create major errors in yo...
Vic 2D Applications In order for a setup to be a good 2D application (with just one camera), the specimen must be: Specimen must be flat Specimen must be planar to camera sensor No part of th...
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...
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...
Overview Many high-speed cameras allow speed increases by reducing (cropping) image resolution. However, calibration can be difficult or impossible at the reduced resolution; in most cases calibrating...
Because of how we track and match images in order to obtain data, and because of the fundamentals of strain theory, we must treat the area of interest as a continuous surface. Discontinuous surfaces ...
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...
Vic-Snap automatically names the images with the correct naming conventions for Vic-3D. So other than remembering not to use an underscore in the filename, there is no actions necessary for naming fi...
