iCorrVision-3D: An integrated python-based open-source Digital Image Correlation Software for in-plane and out-of-plane measurements (Part 2)

This work presents an out-of-the-box python-based open-source 3D Digital Image Correlation (3D-DIC) software for both in-plane and out-of-plane full-field measurements, denoted by iCorrVision-3D. The software includes an integrated stereo grabber for image acquisition, stereo calibration, numerical stereo correlation and post-processing modules. The main objective is to provide a complete integrated 3D-DIC system for users. All important DIC setting parameters can be easily controlled by the user from an intuitive graphical interface. For instance, the interpolation strategy and correlation techniques that are usually not open for users are available for modifications in iCorrVision-3D. The proposed software can be used in a great number of applications in engineering. Results indicated that the iCorrVision-3D software is robust and accurate in reconstructing the 3D shape of objects and in evaluating the out-of-plane full-field displacement of specimens being tested.
