Overview of data flow from acquisition to data analysis, integrating raw data with algorithms for results processing and analysis. (a, b) The uniaxial and biaxial test setups, respectively. We integrate a full field commercial DIC system, and a robot carrying a light optical microscope (LOM) equipped with a CMOS global shutter camera. (c–f) gives an overview of the process showing flow of data and the use of algorithms producing results. F is the applied load, t, the time, $u_{\mathit{DIC}}$ and ${\epsilon }_{\mathit{DIC}}$, the displacements and strains calculated by DIC.
