Real-Time

Non-Contact Full-Field Real-Time Measurement System
(Up to 10,000 data points at 10Hz)

As the world leader in digital image correlation, Correlated Solutions has developed the most efficient digital image processing algorithms, resulting in the fastest 3D processing speeds available. Our highly efficient algorithms are particularly important when high-density image acquisition sequences need to be analyzed very quickly.

The VIC-3D Real-Time processing module by Correlated Solutions allows full-field test data to be displayed live while a test is running. This module can provide users with the information needed to make critical adjustments during the test, ensuring the loading is applied as expected. The module is especially valuable when monitoring specimens that are either very expensive and/or have been produced in a limited quantity. Image acquisition via VIC-Snap is performed concurrently with seamless external analog data synchronization for post-processing images to create denser data sets.

With this module, users can freely choose the data density for processing rates of up to 10 Hz with up to 100,000 data points per time step which is a feature unsurpassed by competing products. Live data is displayed in an unlimited number of user-specified 3D plots, 2D contour image overlays, and cross-sectional graphs.

The real-time module can also operate alongside VIC-Gauge 3D, which allows the user to save full-resolution images for post-processing, record point data from virtual strain gauges or extensometers, and export the virtual gauge data as a scaled voltage via the included DAQ system up to the frame rate of the cameras. Simply set the voltage scaling (e.g. 1% strain = 1V), and now the system can operate as a controlling sensor for a test.
