DIC and Thermography

Infrared-Systems

The VIC-3D IR system integrates an infrared (IR) camera with the white light DIC cameras enabling temperature data to be accurately analyzed alongside full-field strain data. 

The system works by first synchronizing images from the IR camera with images from the stereo DIC system, and then calibrating all three cameras so that the thermal and strain data are in a common coordinate system.
This calibration procedure has been streamlined using the VIC-Snap IR software, which allows the user to capture synchronized single images for calibration, and multiple images at a constant rate for quasi-static testing. The result is an easy-to-use turn-key thermal imaging system that utilizes digital image correlation technology to accurately measure temperature and strain concurrently without any contact with the sample. Thermal and strain data can be viewed, analyzed, and extracted over the entire field or at precise locations.
