Abstract

In this contribution an analysis of printed random patterns used for the evaluation of displacement fields and strain fields by the use of low-speed digital image correlation system is described. For the analysis three patterns with speckles of different shapes and sizes and variously distributed grey values as well were choices. As a quality assessment criteria of the reached results a percentage of non-correlated regions, mean or maximal value of the approximated error radius of the investigated object contour points coordinates were chosen. All these parameters were examined by the evaluation performed by the using of different calibration files and subsequently by the different values of facet size.
