Augmented Lagrangian Digital Image Correlation and Tracking
Augmented Lagrangian Digital Image Correlation (2D_ALDIC)
AL-DIC(Augmented Lagrangian DIC) is a fast, parallel-computing hybrid DIC algorithm, which combines advantages of local subset DIC method (fast computation speed, and parallel computing) and finite-element-based global DIC method (guarantee global kinematic compatibility and decrease noise).
Welcome to give the ALDIC code ratings and comments in the MATLAB File Exchange community:
Advantages of AL-DIC algorithm
- [1] It’s a fast algorithm using distributed parallel computing.
- [2] Global kinematic compatibility is added as a global constraint in the form of augmented Lagrangian, and solved using Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers scheme.
- [3] Both displacement fields and affine deformation gradients are correlated at the same time.
- [4] No need of much manual experience about choosing displacement smoothing filters.
- [5] It works well with compressed DIC images and adaptive mesh. See our paper: Yang, J. & Bhattacharya, K. Exp Mech (2019). https://doi.org/10.1007/s11340-018-00459-y;
- [6] Both accumulative and incremental DIC modes are implemented to deal with image sequences, which is especially quite useful for very large deformations.
- [7] ALDIC application example -- uniaxial compression experiment: https://github.com/jyang526843/2D_ALDIC_v3/blob/master/Example_aldic_foam_compression_strain_eyy.gif
- [8] ALDIC is extended with adaptive quadtree mesh to solve complex geometry. Some examples: https://uwmadison.box.com/s/4n5hmf04rzp4la96bt2rcjk4f6o5d5nf
Prerequisites & Installation
AL-DIC MATLAB code was tested on MATLAB versions later than R2018a. Both single thread and parallel computing features are included in AL-DIC code. Please download and unzip the code to the MATLAB working path. Then, execute the mail file: main_ALDIC.m.
