VIC-3D Non-Contact Full Field Strain Measurement System is the essence of over 30 years of scientific research by Correlated Solutions, the pioneers of DIC (Digital Image Correlation). The technology originates from the University of South Carolina (USC), and they hold the 3D Micro strain measurement patent. This system utilizes optimized 3D digital image correlation algorithms to provide full-field shape, displacement, and strain data measurements within a three-dimensional space.

VIC-3D Introduction

The VIC-3D Non-Contact Full Field Strain Measurement System is the essence of over 30 years of scientific research by CSI Corporation (Correlated Solutions, Inc.). The system utilizes optimized 3D digital image correlation algorithms to provide full-field shape, displacement, and strain data within a three-dimensional space for testing. CSI is the original developer of DIC (Digital Image Correlation) technology, sourced from the University of South Carolina (USC), and holds several unique patents, including 3D micro-strain measurement.

The DIC (Digital Image Correlation) used by VIC-3D is a simple optical measurement method for measuring surface deformation of objects. DIC tracks smaller neighborhoods with grayscale pattern during deformation, referred to as subsets. Through this method, the displacement and strain distribution on the object's surface can be calculated (indicated in red in the image). The entire measurement process only requires one or two image collectors to capture the images of the object before and after deformation, and the 3D strain data distribution can be clearly seen after computation. Unlike strain gauges, which require a significant amount of time for surface smoothing and粘贴, and can only measure strain data in one direction at a point. Unlike the fringes interference method, which has strict environmental requirements. The data obtained by the DIC method is 3D data over the entire field.
