Abstract: An image correlation for images having speckle pattern is evaluated. Modulation transfer function (MTF) curves of speckle-pattern images captured at different times are figured out. Whether a correlation value between the MTF curves meets a threshold is checked. If the correlation value is smaller than the threshold, speckle-pattern images are re-selected for re-figuring out the MTF curves and the correlation value. Thus, error of strain and displacement for digital image correlation owing to blurring images of the on-moving target object is figured out; calculation time of the digital image correlation is reduced; and accuracy on measuring physical parameters of the target object before and after movement is improved for digital image correlation.

Abstract: A multi-image capture device capturing images by means of circular motion controls the shift movement, along a semi-circular measuring rod, of a moving mechanism by a location control device. Furthermore, a rotary control device is used to control the positioning and image-capturing angle of a second image capture device fixed on the rotary mechanism. Thereby, a first image capture device and the second image capture device are of a co-circle configuration where the optical axis of the first image capture device and the second image capture device overlap to form a center of the co-circle. Such a configuration can broaden the visual range of the image capture device, and allows quick calibration of the image capture device according to positioning of shift movement and image-capturing angles.
