Book Image Correlation for Shape  Motion and Deformation Measurements

Download or read book Image Correlation for Shape Motion and Deformation Measurements written by Michael A. Sutton and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-04-21 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Image Correlation for Shape, Motion and Deformation Measurements provides a comprehensive overview of data extraction through image analysis. Readers will find and in-depth look into various single- and multi-camera models (2D-DIC and 3D-DIC), two- and three-dimensional computer vision, and volumetric digital image correlation (VDIC). Fundamentals of accurate image matching are described, along with presentations of both new methods for quantitative error estimates in correlation-based motion measurements, and the effect of out-of-plane motion on 2D measurements. Thorough appendices offer descriptions of continuum mechanics formulations, methods for local surface strain estimation and non-linear optimization, as well as terminology in statistics and probability. With equal treatment of computer vision fundamentals and techniques for practical applications, this volume is both a reference for academic and industry-based researchers and engineers, as well as a valuable companion text for appropriate vision-based educational offerings.

Book Digital Image Correlation

Download or read book Digital Image Correlation written by David Chambers and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During surface deformations measurements in objects, materials or structural element samples, which move in the space, recorded speckle images are transformed by these displacements. In Chapter One, an algorithm for speckle image relative geometrical transformations parameters determination is proposed on the basis of Fourier-Mellin transform. Usage of this algorithm will allow increasing reliability of deformation fields determination for constructional materials after appropriate correction of speckle-images, which are used during calculations. In Chapter Two, methods are presented to determine forming limit curves (FLCs) for sheets of advanced high strength steels (AHSS) using digital image correlation (DIC). FLC is a valuable tool for failure prediction in forming simulation at design stage and die try-out in press shops. Chapter Three presents a novel algorithm for recovering the trajectories of mechanism components from high speed video by means of multidimensional simplex optimisation and conformal templates. The focus of this chapter is on a simplex-based approach to digital image correlation (DIC) with arbitrarily shaped subsets that provides a number of advantages over the traditional gradient based approach with strictly square subsets. Finally, Chapter Four aims to develop a different technique that allows the obtention of the stress-strain evolution of materials while they are under axial loads.

Book Experimental Stress Analysis for Materials and Structures

Download or read book Experimental Stress Analysis for Materials and Structures written by Alessandro Freddi and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-03-19 with total page 509 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book summarizes the main methods of experimental stress analysis and examines their application to various states of stress of major technical interest, highlighting aspects not always covered in the classic literature. It is explained how experimental stress analysis assists in the verification and completion of analytical and numerical models, the development of phenomenological theories, the measurement and control of system parameters under operating conditions, and identification of causes of failure or malfunction. Cases addressed include measurement of the state of stress in models, measurement of actual loads on structures, verification of stress states in circumstances of complex numerical modeling, assessment of stress-related material damage, and reliability analysis of artifacts (e.g. prostheses) that interact with biological systems. The book will serve graduate students and professionals as a valuable tool for finding solutions when analytical solutions do not exist.

Book Full Field Measurements and Identification in Solid Mechanics

Download or read book Full Field Measurements and Identification in Solid Mechanics written by Michel Grediac and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2012-12-17 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This timely book presents cutting-edge developments by experts in the field on the rapidly developing and scientifically challenging area of full-field measurement techniques used in solid mechanics – including photoelasticity, grid methods, deflectometry, holography, speckle interferometry and digital image correlation. The evaluation of strains and the use of the measurements in subsequent parameter identification techniques to determine material properties are also presented. Since parametric identification techniques require a close coupling of theoretical models and experimental measurements, the book focuses on specific modeling approaches that include finite element model updating, the equilibrium gap method, constitutive equation gap method, virtual field method and reciprocity gap method. In the latter part of the book, the authors discuss two particular applications of selected methods that are of special interest to many investigators: the analysis of localized phenomenon and connections between microstructure and constitutive laws. The final chapter highlights infrared measurements and their use in the mechanics of materials. Written and edited by knowledgeable scientists, experts in their fields, this book will be a valuable resource for all students, faculties and scientists seeking to expand their understanding of an important, growing research area

Book Digital Image Forensics

Download or read book Digital Image Forensics written by Husrev Taha Sencar and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-08-01 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Photographic imagery has come a long way from the pinhole cameras of the nineteenth century. Digital imagery, and its applications, develops in tandem with contemporary society’s sophisticated literacy of this subtle medium. This book examines the ways in which digital images have become ever more ubiquitous as legal and medical evidence, just as they have become our primary source of news and have replaced paper-based financial documentation. Crucially, the contributions also analyze the very profound problems which have arisen alongside the digital image, issues of veracity and progeny that demand systematic and detailed response: It looks real, but is it? What camera captured it? Has it been doctored or subtly altered? Attempting to provide answers to these slippery issues, the book covers how digital images are created, processed and stored before moving on to set out the latest techniques for forensically examining images, and finally addressing practical issues such as courtroom admissibility. In an environment where even novice users can alter digital media, this authoritative publication will do much so stabilize public trust in these real, yet vastly flexible, images of the world around us.
