Hi Ali,

I guess you need to check for face detection algorithms, the DICT code won't work for this purpose.

Hi Sampath,

you're absolutely right and I very much like the experiment you conducted. Actually your point is always relevant if either the surface or the illumination is changing. After all everything depends on that. Rob Thompson used the floating reference image in his software as far as I remember(file id 14850) to deal with the changes in illumination when going from RT to 1200°C.
In case of large deformations your changes are going to make the code work much better. For small deformation that would introduce some error, therefore it would be useful if the code either decides by itself to apply this method or the user can decide at the beginning. We will put that into the next version of the code.
The same problem comes up in case of rotation to which DIC is extremely sensitive. Other codes are capable of taking the deformation of the image into account by measuring the local deformation and applying it to the virtual markers. That would be something for the future. We will also look into that and help is always welcome. Contributions will be cited!

Hi Gabe,

thanks again, we'll change that in the future.

All the best, Chris.

Hi Chris, Thanks a lot for your effort!
I have the same problems of maryam abyaneh:

please help me with these:
1- I have 10 slightly displaced pictures but I only get 8 images after DIC.Why?

2- How can I get the result dispalcement for each image?

Thank you very much!
