Current commercial digital image correlation (DIC) systems offer limited versatility, particularly with regards to integrating DIC and thermal imaging on the Gleeble 3800, and are also often financially prohibitive. On the other hand, current open-source acquisition solutions lack the specifications required for most DIC applications and custom solutions are complex for most DIC users. This research therefore aimed to develop an open-source DIC acquisition system for materials research applications that fulfil these shortcomings. The DIC Capture system addresses these limitations by using high quality hardware that interfaces with user orientated software, thus facilitating complex material testing protocols at a reduced cost.
