The invention provides a full-court shearing stress automatic determining method in digital photoelasticity, belonging to a photoelectricity non-destructive test field, comprising: laying the detected photoelasticity body in a photoelastical gauge to apply load, and adjusting the optical field being orthogonal plane polarization field under the white light incidence and respectively collecting four phase shift images when an analyser and a polarizer synchronistically rotate to 0, Pi/8, Pi/4 and 3Pi/8; obtaining the phase diagram of first major principal stress (-Pi/2,Pi/2) using four step color phase-shift method; adjusting the optical field being orthogonal circular polarization field user homogeneous light incidence and collecting six phase shift images when the analyser and the second 1/4 wave plate respectively rotate to (Pi/4,0), (3Pi/4,0), (0,0), (Pi/4,Pi/4), (Pi/2,Pi/2) and (3Pi/4,3Pi/4); combining the phase diagram of first major principal stress and using the improved six phase shift method to obtain isochromatic line packing phase diagram without 'distortion' and performing packing and calculating the full-court shearing stress. The full-court shearing stress can be automatically calculated and the work efficiency is increased and the complicated work of manually data collecting and processing is prevented.
