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...
Obtaining Synchronized Data Most of our systems come with an National Instruments DAQ. Typically these have BNC Inputs. Once the DAQ is plugged in, the Analog Data icon in Vic-Snap will no longer be...
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...
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 ...
This application note covers the procedure for combining FLIR temperature data with 3D correlation fields, as well as the basics of using a FLIR camera with Vic-Snap. ...
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...
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....
