Interferometric-scale full-field vibration measurement by a combination of digital image correlation and laser vibrometer

Digital Image Correlation (DIC) is a crucial noncontact full-field optical measurement method used in various fields. However, in practical applications, DIC is affected by systematic and random noises, leading to experimental resolutions lower than theoretical ones. In this study, we proposed a laser Doppler vibrometer guided DIC to perform vibration measurements. 3D-DIC obtains a sequence of out of displacement field initially. A three-dimensional frequency domain collaborative filtering (3D-FDCF) method that utilizes Laser Doppler vibrometer (LDV) single-point data to assist in processing of the displacement field sequence pixel-wise is adopted. The 3D-FDCF method combines lowpass filtering in the spatial frequency domain with LDV-guided bandpass filtering in the temporal frequency domain. The effectiveness of the 3D-FDCF method is demonstrated through a comparison among DIC data, the filtered DIC data, and continuously scanning LDV data. The experiment results demonstrate the 3D-FDCF method's capability in measuring vibration amplitudes of several hundred nanometers with the size of a test sample of about 100 mm × 100 mm, supporting the statement of interferometric scale full-field vibration measurement by DIC with the guidance of the LDV data.
