DIC Course Lecture 2

Lecture 2: Metrology, reporting and stereo DIC (duration:1h00)

This session summarizes and reiterates on the import aspects of the following on-line provided courses:

  • Lecture 4: Metrology and reporting
  • Lecture 5: Stereo DIC

Objectives

  • An indepth overview of metrology and reporting in optical measurements
  • Get the trainee familiar with the basic concepts underlying a stereovision measurement

Contents

  • Concepts of metrology
  • Displacements and strains: resolution vs. signal reconstruction
  • A DIC convergence study
  • An attempt to quantify spatial resolution
  • Reporting
  • Bases of stereo vision: from 2D to stereovision measurements – Pro’s and Con’s.
  • The pinhole camera model and camera parameters
  • Calibration procedure
  • Geometry of stereovision: Image reconstruction, epipolar constraint and triangulation
  • Camera mounting
  • Practical guidelines for stereovision measurements: lighting, optimal angling for out-of-plane measurements

Competencies

  • The trainee knows how to balance between resolution and spatial resolution
  • The trainee has basic skills to start and analyze successfully a multiple camera DIC setup.
