HP-DICT is a non-contact 3D full-field strain measurement system based on Digital Image Correlation (DIC). It captures deformation, displacement, and strain across an entire surface—supporting applications from material testing to civil engineering, biomedical research, and teaching visualization. 3D-DIC is widely recognized as a non-contact optical technique for full-field shape/displacement/deformation measurement.

HP-DICT is designed for “full-scene” measurement across a wide field of view. It supports both 2D/3D measurement modes, multiple camera interfaces (e.g., USB/GigE industrial cameras), and multiple triggering methods (auto/manual/signal sync). With calibration and speckle/marker workflows built in, HP-DICT helps improve measurement reliability and repeatability—whether you’re running lab tests or outdoor/field measurements.

1) What is a DIC system used for?
A DIC system measures full-field displacement and strain by tracking surface pattern changes between images, enabling non-contact deformation measurement.
2) Can HP-DICT handle both small strain and large deformation?
Yes. It supports 0.005% to 2000% strain measurement.
3) Can it be used for high-speed events (impact, rapid loading)?
Yes. The system supports acquisition up to 4500 fps (depending on the camera configuration).
4) Does it work for different test sizes and viewing ranges?
Yes. It supports a wide field of view from 1 mm to 20 m, and can be customized for objects from nano- to kilometer-scale measurement scenarios.
5) What camera configurations are supported?
It supports 2D/3D measurement with single / dual / multi-camera setups, plus optional IR coupling.
6) What outputs can I export for reports or publications?
You can export 3D point cloud/visualizations and image/video outputs in multiple formats, plus geometry-based measurements and CAD comparisons.
