Over the past decade, <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em><strong>digital image correlation<\/strong><\/em><\/span>, commonly referred to as <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em><strong>DIC<\/strong><\/em><\/span>, has emerged as a promising optical-based displacement measurement technique. Its usage in experimental science has gained popularity due to its advantages, including <strong>ease of use, high spatial resolution, non-contact nature, and reusability<\/strong>.<\/p><p>While advanced DIC measurement systems exist, their <strong>high capital costs<\/strong> have limited their widespread adoption. Furthermore, most of the open-source DIC software systems are primarily designed for 2D measurements. Consequently, previous research efforts in DIC have predominantly focused on assessing materials with 2D deformations, with fewer studies addressing materials undergoing significant<strong> out-of-plane deformation<\/strong>.<\/p><p>This study introduces an innovative measuring tool based on DIC for the precise capture of 3D full-field out-of-plane deformation data. The proposed system utilizes commercially available digital cameras and employs MATLAB-based algorithms for data processing and analysis. <br \/>Uniaxial buckling tests were conducted on thin steel plate elements, considering their ability to induce significant out-of-plane deformations to validate the efficacy of this approach.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5edafba e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"5edafba\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3bff28f elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"3bff28f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"992\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/eroshanmech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Picture13-992x1024.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-2000\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eroshanmech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Picture13-992x1024.png 992w, https:\/\/eroshanmech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Picture13-291x300.png 291w, https:\/\/eroshanmech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Picture13-768x793.png 768w, https:\/\/eroshanmech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Picture13-1488x1536.png 1488w, https:\/\/eroshanmech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Picture13-1985x2048.png 1985w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 992px) 100vw, 992px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ee945d9 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"ee945d9\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-97a3725 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"97a3725\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5147313 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"5147313\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"731\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/eroshanmech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Picture6q-731x1024.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-2011\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eroshanmech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Picture6q-731x1024.png 731w, https:\/\/eroshanmech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Picture6q-214x300.png 214w, https:\/\/eroshanmech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Picture6q-768x1075.png 768w, https:\/\/eroshanmech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Picture6q-1097x1536.png 1097w, https:\/\/eroshanmech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Picture6q-1463x2048.png 1463w, https:\/\/eroshanmech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Picture6q.png 1637w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 731px) 100vw, 731px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c976f36 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"c976f36\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-833c57b elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"833c57b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">What is DIC ?

This process utilizes predefined patterns, like checkerboards, to extract features such as corners and lines from captured images. The calibration plate is manipulated in various orientations within the volume of interest, and stereo cameras capture images for calibration. A minimum of 20 pairs of images is recommended for subpixel accuracy in DIC displacement measurements, leading to 40-50 images in a single calibration. The MATLAB built-in stereo camera calibrator program is employed to process the calibration, and the mean pixel error is estimated using the

The disparity can be positive or negative, depending on conventions, and varies across the image. Disparity mapping techniques fall into two main categories: local methods and global methods. Local methods, such as Semi-Global Matching (SGM) and block matching (BM), analyze small image regions or patches to estimate disparities. On the other hand, global methods consider the entire image and use optimization techniques to determine disparities. In MATLAB, various functions are available to implement local and global disparity estimation methods, including SGM and BM algorithms. Employing both methods in the proposed system can lead to desirable results in terms of accurate disparity mapping and depth estimation.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-df194c9 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"df194c9\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7983d4c e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"7983d4c\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4d3bc3d elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"4d3bc3d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"870\" height=\"531\" src=\"https:\/\/eroshanmech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Picture2sc.png\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-2045\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eroshanmech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Picture2sc.png 870w, https:\/\/eroshanmech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Picture2sc-300x183.png 300w, https:\/\/eroshanmech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Picture2sc-768x469.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 870px) 100vw, 870px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-722c523 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"722c523\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Disparity map<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-405ce26 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"405ce26\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b4c4cf0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"b4c4cf0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"751\" height=\"483\" src=\"https:\/\/eroshanmech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Picture31.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-2047\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eroshanmech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Picture31.png 751w, https:\/\/eroshanmech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Picture31-300x193.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 751px) 100vw, 751px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fdeafb6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"fdeafb6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Disparity estimation<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-eb5802a e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"eb5802a\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ce035e2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"ce035e2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">3.  3D Scene Reconstruction<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-33af962 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"33af962\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>At each pixel point in the stereo images, the x, y, and z coordinates can be calculated based on the corresponding disparity values derived from the disparity map.

These features represent patterns or distinct assemblies in an image, like points, edges, or corners. MATLAB&#8217;s computer vision toolbox offers various algorithms for detecting these local features and their descriptors. In a comparative analysis, the KAZE algorithm yielded the highest number of matched features. Consequently, the KAZE algorithm is integrated into determining the transformation matrix for defined subsets in considered image pairs.<\/p><p>Conventional Digital Image Correlation (DIC) compares a reference image with deformed images to estimate displacement fields. However, it struggles with large out-of-plane deformations, leading to invalid assumptions and a significant number of outlier-matched points. To address this, an incremental correlation method is developed in this study. This technique matches features between consecutive pairs of images, accumulating displacements in each step to capture progressive deformation. The final displacement field is derived by removing outliers in the cumulative matrix.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3ae2691 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"3ae2691\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-96f4faa elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-position-top elementor-widget elementor-widget-image-box\" data-id=\"96f4faa\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image-box.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image-box-wrapper\"><figure class=\"elementor-image-box-img\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"544\" height=\"414\" src=\"https:\/\/eroshanmech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Picture22.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-2061\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eroshanmech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Picture22.jpg 544w, https:\/\/eroshanmech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Picture22-300x228.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 544px) 100vw, 544px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"elementor-image-box-content\"><p class=\"elementor-image-box-description\">Comparison between the performance of different feature detection functions<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e7606bf elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"e7606bf\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1736\" height=\"1800\" src=\"https:\/\/eroshanmech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Picture20.png\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-2059\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eroshanmech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Picture20.png 1736w, https:\/\/eroshanmech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Picture20-289x300.png 289w, https:\/\/eroshanmech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Picture20-988x1024.png 988w, https:\/\/eroshanmech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Picture20-768x796.png 768w, https:\/\/eroshanmech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Picture20-1481x1536.png 1481w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1736px) 100vw, 1736px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-41407d8 elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-position-top elementor-widget elementor-widget-image-box\" data-id=\"41407d8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image-box.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image-box-wrapper\"><figure class=\"elementor-image-box-img\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"513\" height=\"344\" src=\"https:\/\/eroshanmech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Picture21.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-2060\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eroshanmech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Picture21.jpg 513w, https:\/\/eroshanmech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Picture21-300x201.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 513px) 100vw, 513px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"elementor-image-box-content\"><p class=\"elementor-image-box-description\">Feature matching between the deformed image and the reference image<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a786856 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"a786856\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">5.
