DICe

Pushing DIC technology to new levels, together

DICe (pronounced /dīs/ as in "roll the dice") is an open source digital image correlation (DIC) tool intended for use as a module in an external application or as a standalone analysis code. Its primary capabilities are computing full-field displacements and strains from sequences of digital images and rigid body motion tracking of objects. The images analyzed are typically of a material sample undergoing a characterization experiment, but DICe is also useful for other applications (for example, trajectory tracking). DICe is machine portable (Windows, Linux, and Mac) and can be effectively deployed on a high performance computing platform (DICe uses MPI parallelism as well as threaded on-core parallelism). Capabilities from DICe can be invoked through a customized library interface, via source code integration of DICe classes or through a standalone executable.

There are two ways to install and use DICe. If you are on a Windows or Mac OS and simply want to install DICe and use it there are package installers available on the release page. If you are using Linux or would like to make your own custom modifications to DICe, you can build DICe and the DICe GUI using the instructions on the documentation page below.

Although the GUI is expanding with each new version, only the basic use cases for 2d and stereo DIC are currently available as options in the GUI. To use DICe for trajectory tracking, or to enable some of the advanced features like the regularized global methods, the command line interface needs to be used. Instructions are given in the tutorials for how to enable options like these. A good way to get started is to use the GUI to set up some basic input files and then modify these files as necessary to enable more advanced features.

Features

DICe is different than other available DIC codes in the following ways:

First, subsets can be of arbitrary shape. This enables tracking of oblong objects that otherwise would not be trackable with a square subset.

DICe also incudes a robust simplex optimization method that does not use image gradients (this method is useful for data sets that are impossible to analyze with the traditional Lucas-Kanade-type algorithms, for example, objects without speckles, images with low contrast, and small subset sizes < 10 pixels).

Lastly, DICe also includes a well-posed global DIC formulation that addresses instabilities associated with the saddle-point problem in DIC (This capability will be released later this year).
