Abstract Digital Image Correlation (DIC) is the heart of the remote deformation measurement techniques using images. It is applied to many different applications from medical imaging to engineering problems for measuring deformation remotely with high accuracy. Whereas it is highly successful in measuring continuous deformation, it has severe limitation of failure in measuring discontinuous deformation. Most of the real world problems contains discontinuous deformation and this makes the DIC application restricted to lab environment only. This study presents the first comprehensive literature review on remote deformation measurement in the presence of discontinuities using images. Different methodologies to overcome the limitation of DIC are analysed and categorized systematically. Finally, based on the reviewed literature, a broader outlook and possible future research directions in this area of research are presented.

存在不连续性时的变形测量​​与数字图像相关：综述

摘要 数字图像相关（DIC）是使用图像的远程变形测量技术的核心。它适用于许多不同的应用，从医学成像到用于高精度远程测量变形的工程问题。虽然它在测量连续变形方面非常成功，但它在测量不连续变形方面存在严重的失败限制。大多数现实世界的问题都包含不连续变形，这使得 DIC 应用仅限于实验室环境。本研究首次对使用图像在存在不连续性的情况下进行远程变形测量的综合文献综述。系统地分析和分类了克服 DIC 局限性的不同方法。最后，根据查阅的文献，
