ezDIC v0.1.1

DOI-ready archival release

This release is archived by Zenodo and has a citable DOI. It adds structured software metadata for Zenodo, improves citation information, and keeps the Windows green-folder package available for researchers who want to test ezDIC without installing Python.

DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.20222465

What ezDIC does

ezDIC is a lightweight virtual extensometer for extracting linear strain from image sequences. It is intended for materials researchers who need a practical 1D strain history rather than a full-field digital image correlation analysis.

The software tracks two user-defined ROI markers and computes:

  • engineering strain: (L - L0) / L0
  • true strain: ln(L / L0)

where L0 is the initial ROI-center separation and L is the current ROI-center separation.

Main features

  • ROI-pair tracking for virtual-extensometer strain extraction.
  • Multi-ROI-group support for repeatability checks.
  • Origin-compatible TXT export with Frame, EngineeringStrain, and TrueStrain.
  • Engineering-strain PNG plots.
  • QC summary with rejected frames, adaptive accepted frames, correlation scores, and QC level.
  • Optional full CSV, correlation plot, overlay, and parameter exports.
  • Windows 10/11 x64 green-folder executable package.

Why this release matters

This version is archived by Zenodo so researchers can cite a stable software record. The repository now includes:

  • .zenodo.json for Zenodo metadata.
  • CITATION.cff for GitHub citation support.
  • LICENSE.txt and NOTICE_Attribution_and_Usage.txt for attribution and usage restrictions.
  • A Windows portable package attached to the GitHub release.
