DEFORMATION CALCULATION DEVICE, DEFORMATION MEASUREMENT DEVICE, AND DEFORMATION CALCULATION METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18035930 titled 'DEFORMATION CALCULATION DEVICE, DEFORMATION MEASUREMENT DEVICE, AND DEFORMATION CALCULATION METHOD
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a deformation calculation device that uses digital image correlation to calculate the deformation of a measurement region. It also includes a viewpoint change elimination unit to eliminate apparent strain and a uniting unit to output the deformation of the measurement region over time.
- The device uses digital image correlation to calculate the deformation of a measurement region.
- It eliminates apparent strain by subtracting it from the calculated deformation.

Original Abstract Submitted
The deformation calculation device includes: a deformation calculation unit which obtains a simply-calculated deformation of a measurement region by digital image correlation; a viewpoint change elimination unit which obtains a provisional deformation by subtracting, from the simply-calculated deformation, an apparent strain that is back-calculated on an assumption that there is no deformation in the measurement region; and a uniting unit which outputs, as a deformation of the measurement region from the first image-taking period to the second image-taking period, a deformation resulting from averaging the provisional deformations obtained by applying the deformation calculation unit and the viewpoint change elimination unit through sequential selection of different first images from the first image group and sequential selection of different second images from the second image group.
