Abstract

Digital image correlation (DIC) technology has been widely used in high-temperature measurement fields. However, due to the complexity of high-temperature environments, there are many interference factors that limit the development of high-temperature DIC technology, among which thermal disturbance is one of the most significant factors that severely affects the measurement accuracy of high-temperature DIC. In this paper, a multi-channel separation technique combined with a low-cost laser speckle device is proposed to eliminate thermal disturbance errors in high-temperature DIC measurements. First, a blue laser speckle generation system is independently designed to produce the most suitable speckle particles, and the best laser speckle is determined and projected onto the blue background white spot pattern. Then a green LED illuminates the sample to provide illumination for the sample’s own grayscale characteristics. A color camera collects photos, and the obtained images are processed with channel separation to extract and calculate the displacement of different channels. Finally, the displacement fields of the green and blue channels are subtracted to separate the thermal disturbance error and correct the measurement values. In this paper, a laser speckle projection system is first assembled, followed by a comprehensive evaluation of the projected speckle and, finally, a DIC experimental system is constructed for verification experiments at both room temperature and high temperature, and the corrected values are compared with the true values. The results show that the corrected values are highly consistent with the true values, which verifies the reliability of the proposed method.
