Image Correlation for Shape, Motion and Deformation Measurements: Basic Concepts, Theory and Applications – Michael A. Sutton, Jean José Orteu, Hubert W. Schreier – 1st Edition

The correlation of images for measurements of shape, movement and deformation provides a complete description of the extraction of data through image analysis. Readers will find and analyze in depth several models of one and several cameras (2D-DIC and 3D- DIC), two-dimensional and three-dimensional artificial vision and volumetric correlation of digital images (VDIC). The fundamentals of the precise coincidence of images are described, together with presentations of new methods for estimating quantitative errors in motion measurements based on correlation and effect del movimiento fuera del plano en 2D measurements.

The complete appendices offer descriptions of continuous mechanics formulations, methods for estimating local surface deformation and linear optimization, as well as terminology in statistics and probability. With an equitable treatment of the fundamentals and techniques of computer vision for practical applications, this volume is a reference for researchers and academic and industrial engineers, as well as a valuable complementary text for adequate educational offers based on vision.
