[0002] Digital image correlation (DIC) technology has been widely applied in fields such as materials mechanics and structural deformation monitoring to achieve high-resolution measurements of displacement and deformation fields. However, in practical applications, when reference or deformation images exhibit extreme conditions such as large deformations or speckle tearing, the prediction results of traditional DIC models often suffer from poor accuracy and insufficient robustness. Furthermore, traditional DIC methods heavily rely on labeled data of real displacement or strain fields during model training, and these high-quality labels are often difficult or even impossible to obtain in real-world engineering scenarios. Additionally, existing DIC displacement prediction models generally employ purely supervised learning, resulting in lengthy training processes and difficulty in fully utilizing large amounts of unlabeled real-world measurement data, significantly limiting the model's engineering applicability and scalability.

[0092] In this embodiment, experiments were conducted using aerospace-grade aluminum alloy sheet as the component to verify the feasibility of the method:

[0093] 1. Acquisition of Reference and Deformation Images: Taking the experiment of aerospace aluminum alloy thin plates under large deformation and crack propagation conditions as an example, an industrial camera with a resolution of 2048×2048 pixels and a pixel size of 5.5μm was used to simultaneously acquire images of the reference state and the deformation state on a physical loading testing machine at a sampling frequency of 5Hz. Each sample set includes one reference image and one deformation image, totaling 8000 sets. All images are high-contrast pure speckle distributions, covering extreme conditions such as crack propagation, tearing, regional blurring, and edge anomalies. All data were uniformly input as H×W grayscale tensors.

[0094] 2. Image Hierarchical Reconstruction via Wavelet Packet Decomposition: A three-level Daubechies 4 wavelet packet decomposition is applied to each set of reference and deformed images to obtain multi-scale sub-band coefficients. Subsequently, the L2 norm and Pearson correlation coefficient of each sub-band are calculated. Based on set energy thresholds (e.g., 60% of the mean of each layer) and correlation thresholds (e.g., 0.4), high-quality feature sub-bands are selected and retained. The selected coefficient set is then reconstructed using inverse wavelet packet decomposition to obtain the cleaned reference and deformed images, effectively achieving noise filtering and feature enhancement, providing higher-quality input for subsequent modeling and training.

[0095] 3. Calculate the image quality evaluation index for each pair of samples. For all processed image pairs, the contrast C, signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), and gradient entropy H are extracted respectively, by setting weight parameters ( =0.35, =0.3, =0.35) Calculate the comprehensive quality evaluation index , The distribution range is [0.41, 0.98]. After being uniformly normalized, it is used for subsequent branch training allocation and dynamic resource scheduling.

[0096] 4. Training branch decision for each pair of samples: based on the quality index of each sample group. With preset threshold ( Perform automatic branch decision: when At that time, the samples were assigned to the standard training branch, using the standard U-Net structure, with loss function weights α=0.8 (mean squared error) and β=0.2 (correlation loss), and network encoding-decoding channels of 32, 64, 128, and 256 respectively. The first dynamic pre-training rounds were evaluated using a representative quality index. Dynamic allocation; when When this happens, it is categorized into the abnormal enhancement training branch. The backbone network structure remains the same, with an additional parallel edge-aware discrimination CNN branch and an SE-block attention mechanism inserted. The weights of the loss term are adjusted. =0.5、 =0.1、 =0.25 (perceptual loss) =0.15 (physical consistency loss), training epochs are based on representative quality index Adaptive scaling. This strategy enables differentiated management of training resources and learning difficulty, significantly improving the model's stability and generalization ability under various extreme conditions.

[0097] 5. Supervised Pre-training and Unsupervised Joint Training: All samples undergo supervised pre-training according to their respective configurations based on branch decisions, using the Adam optimizer with an initial learning rate of 1e-4 and a batch size of 8. The branch training loss uses the mean loss of all samples within each branch as the backpropagation objective, and training is completed using adaptive branch iterations. After supervised pre-training converges, the model uniformly enters the unsupervised joint training phase, applying a multi-objective joint loss (reconstruction loss, correlation loss, physical consistency loss, and perceptual loss, etc., with weights...) to all labeled and unlabeled samples. =0.4、 =0.2、 =0.25、 =0.15), with a total of 50 rounds of training.

[0098] 6. End-to-end dual-branch output: After final optimization, the model can automatically output displacement and strain field prediction results with the same resolution as the input image, end-to-end. Specifically, each pair of samples can directly obtain horizontal displacement, vertical displacement, and multiple strain field components. No additional post-processing is required, allowing direct application to large-scale automatic monitoring and analysis in real-world engineering scenarios. Experimental verification shows that under high noise and strong abnormal conditions, the mean square error of the predicted displacement field is reduced from 0.17 pixels to 0.11 pixels, and the strain field error is reduced from 0.28% to 0.14%. The overall training and inference speed is increased to 1.9 times that of the original method, fully demonstrating the significant engineering advantages and practical application value of this innovative technology system.

[0099] This embodiment addresses the bottlenecks of existing digital image correlation (DIC) techniques, such as insufficient robustness under extreme conditions and strong dependence on high-quality labeled samples. It innovatively constructs an end-to-end displacement and strain field prediction method with image quality assessment as its core and adaptive capabilities. This method significantly improves the engineering practicality, automatic adaptability, and generalization ability of the prediction model in complex scenarios by proposing multi-scale image quality assessment, a novel image quality assessment index, and adaptive branch training decisions based on the image quality assessment index. The innovations are specifically reflected in the following three aspects:

[0100] 1. An image quality-driven end-to-end deformation / strain field prediction framework is proposed: This invention proposes an integrated multi-module end-to-end prediction system, covering image acquisition, wavelet packet decomposition denoising, image quality assessment, adaptive decision-making for training branches, dynamic loss optimization, and a joint supervised-unsupervised overall training process. This overall framework streamlines the entire process from raw image input to displacement and strain field prediction outputs, significantly improving automation and engineering adaptability, while providing a strong technical foundation for large-scale structural health monitoring.

[0101] 2. A method for measuring image quality is proposed: This invention innovatively designs a comprehensive image quality evaluation index that integrates three factors: contrast, signal-to-noise ratio, and gradient entropy. This index can quantify the quality of different image samples, sensitively distinguishing between high-quality and low-quality samples, and providing a scientific basis for subsequent training branches and dynamic allocation of computing resources.

[0102] 3. Establishing an adaptive branch training and resource allocation mechanism based on image quality evaluation index: This invention addresses the significant differences in input sample quality by automatically assigning each pair of samples to either a standard training branch or an anomaly enhancement training branch based on their comprehensive quality evaluation index and a preset threshold. The number of training rounds for each branch is dynamically determined according to the quality index distribution of its sample set, achieving differentiated training round scheduling for samples. This ensures efficient and accurate convergence for high-quality samples and robust fitting for low-quality and anomaly samples. After completing adaptive branch supervised training, all branch samples are uniformly incorporated into the unsupervised joint training stage, further enhancing the model's generalization ability and engineering adaptability under diverse and unlabeled conditions.
