Applied high speed digital image correlation (HSDIC)
Embodiments of the disclosure provide systems and methods for testing of separating systems between a space vehicle and a launch vehicle, at a component level and/or at a system level, using High Speed Digital Image Correlation (HSDIC). Proposed embodiments integrate HSDIC into the separation testing processes to better determine system function without contacting the object under test. By applying HSDIC to objects under test, the previously immeasurable quantities may be measured and may provide results leading to more complete and more understandable measurements of interest. As one example, local coordinate systems may be generated indicating symmetry and/or lack of symmetry. Furthermore, stay out volumes may be verified. In some embodiments, trajectories associated with measure targets, (e.g., features of the object under test and/or patterns such as a speckle pattern) may be utilized to track and analysis movements as well as verify stay out volumes.
