.. toctree:: :maxdepth: 1 Generating Subset Collection for 3D Subset-DIC =============================================== * Open the :doc:`../components/gui/preprocessor` * Set the "Camera Mode" DropDown List to **"Both Cameras"** * In the **left** :doc:`../components/gui/impanel` , load the **first image** in the image sequence for **Camera 1**. * In the **right** :doc:`../components/gui/impanel` , load the **first image** in the image sequence for **Camera 2**. * Open the :doc:`../components/gui/tools/subsetedit` * In the :doc:`../components/gui/tools/subsetedit` choose **Add Subsets**. The :doc:`../components/gui/tools/subset/addsubset` appears and ask for some parameters of the subsets to be added. .. image:: imgs/addsubset3D.png :alt: alternate text :align: center For a 3D subset DIC-analysis you may define: * The size of the subset (default = 20) * Wether the initial subset location (in the left view) should be optimized or not. If you are tracking a checkerboard pattern, you may here choose **Corner Finder**. Otherwise, choose **No Optimization**. * The optimization type for the right view. If you are tracking a checkerboard pattern, you may choose **Corner Finder** also here. If not, choose **DIC Rigid 2DOF** or **DIC Linear 6DOF**, and the subset in the right view will be correlated against the subset in the left view using the specified optimization type. **Note:** You must NOT choose **No Optimization** for the right view, as the subsets in both views must be located at the same "material point" on the specimen surface. When the "OK"-buttin is pressed in the :doc:`../components/gui/tools/subset/addsubset` an action called **Click to define center of subset** will be active in the left view. * Click on the image to define a subset in the left view. * When you have clicked to add a subset in the left view, you are asked to click on the corresponding point in the right view. * When you have clicked in the right view, a corresponding set of subsets is added. To add more subsets, Continue and iterate through the three points above until you are done. In the image below a single subset has been added at the tip of a projectile. .. image:: imgs/subsetadded.png :alt: alternate text :align: center .. hint:: The subset tracking analysis assumes small deformations/movements of the subset(s) between succeeding images (same as for standard DIC with mesh). To overcome large "jumps" in displacement bewteen succeeding images, it is possible to define a :doc:`subsetvelocityvector` to the subsets. * When you are happy with the subset collection, you can save it as a file (*scol). .. image:: imgs/savescol.png :alt: alternate text :align: center :width: 250 .. hint:: It is not required, but you may want to save the subset collection in a subfolder under the image folder, where you also save the input file (in the next step). You are now done making the subset collection for a 2D Subset-DIC analysis. * Remember where you saved the subset collection file (*.scol) and close the :doc:`../components/gui/preprocessor`
