Abstract

An approach to quantifying the errors in digital image correlation (DIC) is presented using experimentally produced images. The challenge arises in creating exact subpixel shifted images in an experiment. This was accomplished via numerical binning of an ultra-high resolution image. The shifted images are then used for a preliminary analysis of 2D correlation software uncertainty and investigation of speckle pattern quality. Because it is often necessary to use numerically shifted images, for uncertainty quantification for instance, the optimum method of Fourier shifting is also presented.
