Application Notes for specific cases and general hardware set-up
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....
Some of the most useful results in Digital Image Correlation come from high-magnification, small field of view tests. At the same time, these tests can be increasingly difficult, depending on the magn...
Sometimes, images acquired for use in 2D or 3D digital image correlation tests can be too dark; noisy; blurry; or aliased. From time to time we are asked whether it would be beneficial to process thes...
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...
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...
The linked article discusses the details of testing with Photron (TM) cameras....
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...
With a few pointers and tips, the marker tracking feature in Vic-3D can be easily mastered. The attached application note explains the basics of a test from start to finish. Scalable markers are also ...
Calibrating for a high magnification setup can present a few challenges. This article will discuss techniques for getting the best calibration result at small fields of view. What is 'high magnificati...
This feature was previously labeled Show co-variance and then Show sigma estimate. The Show Focus/Contrast feature may be selected by right clicking the live image in Vic-Snap. The user is also gi...
