Multiple-Camera Instrumentation of a Single Point Incremental Forming Process Pilot for Shape and 3D Displacement Measurements: Methodology and Results

A multiple-camera system (more than two cameras) has been developed to measure the shape variations and the 3D displacement field of a sheet metal part during a Single Point Incremental Forming (SPIF) operation. The modeling of the multiple-camera system and the calibration procedure to determine its parameters are described. The sequence of images taken during the forming operation is processed using a multiple-view Digital Image Correlation (DIC) method and the 3D reconstruction of the part shape is obtained using a Sparse Bundle Adjustment (SBA) method. Two experiments that demonstrate the potentiality of the method are described.
