چکیده

This paper presents a method to measure the displacements fields on the surface of a planar object with sub-pixel resolution, by combining image correlation and a differential technique. First, a coarse approximation of the pixel level displacement is obtained by cross correlation (CC). Two consecutive images, taken before and after the application of a given deformation, are recursively split in sub-images, and the CC coefficient is used as the similarity measure. Secondly, a fine approximation is performed in order to assess the sub-pixel displacements by means of an optical flow method based on a differential technique. This differentiation is achieved in a window of pixels that will typically define the displacement spatial resolution of the method. In order to validate the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed method, numerical tests, consisting of a rigid-body translation test and a rotation test, were carried out on computer generated images.

Sub-pixel Precision Image Matching for Displacement Measurement of Mass Movements Using Normalised Cross-correlation

This study evaluates the performance of two fundamentally different approaches to achieve sub-pixel precision of normalised crosscorrelation when measuring surface displacements on mass movements from repeat optical images. In the first approach, image intensities are interpolated to a desired sub-pixel resolution using a bi-cubic interpolation scheme prior to the actual displacement matching. ...

The Elimination of Correlation Errors in PIV Processing

A non-post-interrogation method of reducing sub-pixel bias errors and eliminating spurious vectors from particle image velocimetry (PIV) results is presented. Unlike methods that rely on the accuracy or similarity of neighboring vectors, errors are eliminated before correlation information is discarded using available spatial and/or temporal data. Anomalies are removed from the data set through...

Optical-flow-based background-oriented schlieren technique for measuring a laser-induced underwater shock wave

The background-oriented schlieren (BOS) technique with the physicsbased optical flow method (OF-BOS) is developed for measuring the pressure field of a laser-induced underwater shock wave. Compared to BOS with the conventional cross-correlation method in PIV (called PIV-BOS), by using the OF-BOS, the displacement field generated by the small density gradient in water can be obtained at the spat...
