Abstract

Digital image analysis techniques have been developed and utilized in the field of solid mechanics and fluid mechanics to measure the deformation and velocity of a target object. The deformation measurement systems based on Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) and Digital Image Correlation (DIC) have been attempted in geotechnical testings (e.g., physical model tests) for observing the deformation of soils. The digital image analysis is influenced by image pattern of test materials, resolution of the used digital camera, target area, image analysis techniques, and analysis conditions. Therefore, optimal analysis conditions should be determined to obtain high quality results on soil deformations. In the present study, various influence factors on the digital image analysis were described and summarized. The optimizing procedure for high accurate results was then proposed. Finally, the applicability of the developed procedure was examined.
