Mechanical Shape Correlation: A novel integrated digital image correlation approach

“…Masking the structure itself is an elegant solution, since correlation is based only on the pixels located outside the structure, for which the closest distance is always to the outer contour of the structure. The effect of masking was investigated in [30], 2 where it was shown that better convergence of the method is achieved when masking the structure.…”

“…Reference[30] is a conference proceeding from the same authors with additional algorithmic details on the masking procedure and its effect on the MSC correlation results.…”
