Digital Image Correlation System (Correlated Solutions)

Digital Image Correlation (often referred to as “DIC”) is an easy to use optical method which measures deformation on an object’s surface. The method tracks the changes in gray value pattern in small neighborhoods called subsets during deformation. Digital Image Correlation has repeatedly proven to be accurate when compared to valid FEA models. The commercially available VIC-2D and VIC-3D systems from Correlated Solutions utilize this advanced optical measurement technology.
