Is there a report available for the global algorithm in DICe?

[Tom1009]

Hello

Thanks for this nice software.

I have a pdf file that explains the local algorithm, but is there a pdf file that explains the global algorithm?

Sorry for my inconvenience in English.

Not currently, but if we do write one, I'll link to it here.

thank you for your answer. What does the global DIC parameter "regularization constant" mean? I want to know how to determine the parameters.

[dicengine]

The regularization constant is the weight added the regularizing term in the formulation. In the default case, the regularization is a Horn-Schunk type smoothing of the gradient of the displacement field i.e. alpha * grad(u):grad(u) where alpha is the regularization term. For high values of alpha, the solution is smoothed more and more. For low values of alpha, a lot of noise can get introduced into the solution. It's somewhat of a balancing act to get alpha correct.

thank you！ What does the global DIC parameter "gauss filter image" mean? I want to know how to determine the parameters. And I found the following treatise, but has it been resolved?

I'm sorry for the many questions.

The gauss filter image parameter applies a Gaussian filter to the images prior to doing the DIC, the value of the filter is the size of the filter window.
