Hello, I just released a simple but full functional python free code that use opencv, numpy, scipy and matplotlib for DIC strain measurements. To get a quick overview, you can take a look here : https://gitlab.com/damien.andre/pydic and see the attached animation. Best regards, Damien.

I think that opencv is a good choice. It is faster than matlab.

It also has many functions for image processing.

Please see this ... http://www.ncorr.com/index.php/crack-tip-experiments

I tried Vic 3d, and it certainly works well, although I believe it has a bug in the Matlab file export routine. For multiple thousand dollar software, that should not be the case. 

I am going to download the opticist software and try that out soon

Digital Image Correlation and Tracking - File Exchange - MATLAB Central

Based on review and users comments I have found opticist software is handy to measure deformation.

Using Matlab code is a good starter to learn DIC

Please test the GOM COrrelate system. For 2D analysis is free and works well good.

Hi Mustapha,

Do you choice a Sofware?

I am also looking for an appropriate DIC Softwares that can track displacement/strain of random points.

Could you give some ideas!

Cheers,

Bac

I am using GOM Corellate 2016, free version. Works very well for 2D problems ...

Dear Milan, I am interesting if you can say the optical properties that you use to do the tests (resolution of camera, fps, type of sensor, type of lent, etc). Thank you very much.

Dear Mustapha,

Phase correlation in COSI-Corr program proposed by Leprince et al., 2007 is being used widely for measuring surface deformation/displacement in many applications such as earthquake, landslide, sand dune, glaciology etc. COSI-Corr is an open source tool which can be integrated in ENVI software.

U may check the link below for downloading COSI-Corr and its related publications:

I am sure this will help you.

Be possible that deppending of your objectives: NCORR, 2D-DIC and 3D-DIC seem to be good. Also GOM-CORRELATE can be used to 2D tests.

Dear all,

Have a look at the website from the International DIC society under the resources tab:

http://idics.org/resources/

That gives a nice overview of the available commercial and research DIC code

Hello,

I strongly recommend you to use GOM correlate. It has two versions; 2D and 3D, and 2D system is free and is very useful. I use it in my research papers.

Please find below link for the website of the software:

I am using a MATLAB based DIC code which is an open source with a ok ok GUI. We here in our biomechanical research group at IIT Delhi are trying to convert all these algorithms into PhythonBASED GUI. Please let me know if anyone wants to use that DIC code. I can mail it. I dont remember the name of that DIC code. For more details, one can email me at [email protected]

Piyush Gaur

Interested to have a taste of your DIC code. I'll email you soon.
