Basic principle of digital image correlation for in-plane displacement and strain measurement

The basic principle and the algorithm of a digital image correlation method, and the procedure for obtaining displacements and strains are described. In order to describe the basic principle precisely, only in-plane displacement and strain measurement of a planar object are explained. Gray levels between integer pixels of a digital image after deformation are interpolated to obtain displacements with subpixel resolution. Displacements are then determined by solving nonlinear simultaneous equations taking the deformation of a subset into consideration. Strains are obtainable by differentiating the measured displacements. In addition to the basic principle of digital image correlation, the example of the measurement and its results are shown.
