Title: The Effect of the Ill-posed Problem on Quantitative Error Assessment in Digital Image Correlation

Abstract

Here, this work explores the effect of the ill-posed problem on uncertainty quantification for motion estimation using digital image correlation (DIC) (Sutton et al. 2009). We develop a correction factor for standard uncertainty estimates based on the cosine of the angle between the true motion and the image gradients, in an integral sense over a subregion of the image. This correction factor accounts for variability in the DIC solution previously unaccounted for when considering only image noise, interpolation bias, contrast, and the software settings such as subset size and spacing.
