Principle of XJTUDIC
XJTUDIC combines stereo vision with digital image correlation. It can measure the 3D coordinates, 3D displacement and surface strain of object by tracking the speckle image of the object surface in the deformation process. XJTUDIC system is portable, fast, high precision and easy to use.

Speckle tracking process

Easy operation
  The system calibration base on photogrammetry is fast, accurate and can adapt to different measurement area. With the lifting frame, one can operate the system easily. Different type of light source can provide well illumination condition. Multi-function control box provides variety of A/D acquisition, D/A out, and camera triggering.

Application of XJTUDIC in civil engineering
The deformation and flow characteristic of sand is a research focus in civil engineering, however can¡¯t be measured easily using traditional method. XJTUDIC which is a non-contacting optical system is ideal for the investigation of sand characteristics.
