Image Correlation for Shape Motion and Deformation Measurements

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.
