Abstract
An example system to measure strain in an article includes a camera, a processor, and memory. The camera is to capture a plurality of images of the article. The processor and the memory are in selective communication with the camera. The processor and the memory are configured to determine strain in a region of the article based on a plurality of reference marks shown in the plurality of images.
Claims26
A system to measure strain in an article, comprising:
- a camera to capture a first image and a second image of the article;
- and
- a processor and memory in selective communication with the camera and configured to determine strain in a region of the article based on a first reference mark shown in the first and the second images and a second reference mark shown in the first and the second images,
- wherein the processor and memory are further configured to
- determine a first distance between the first reference mark and the second reference mark shown in the first image, and
- determine a second distance between the first reference mark and the second reference mark shown in the second image.
A method to measure strain in an article, comprising:
- capturing, with a camera, a first image and a second image of the article;
- and
- determining, with a processor, strain in a region of the article based on a a first reference mark shown in the first image and in the second image and a second reference mark shown in the first image and in the second image,
- wherein determining strain in the region includes
- determining a first distance between the first reference mark and the second reference mark shown in the first image, and
- determining a second distance between the first reference mark and the second reference mark shown in the second image.
A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:
- determine a first distance between a first reference mark and a second reference mark shown in a first image of an article;
- determine a second distance between the first reference mark and the second reference mark shown in a second image of the article;
- and
- determine strain in a region of the article based on the first distance and the second distance.
A system to produce a customized textile component of an article, comprising:
- a camera to capture images of the article;
- a processor and memory in selective communication with the camera and configured to
- determine a strain value in a region of the textile component of the article based on the images, and
- generate a strain map based on the strain value;
- and
- a 3D printer in selective communication with the processor and memory and configured to apply reinforcement to a textile substrate according to the strain map to form the customized textile component.
A system to measure strain in a textile, comprising:
- a camera to capture a plurality of images of the textile;
- and
- a processor and memory in selective communication with the camera and configured to determine strain in a region of the textile based on a plurality of reference marks shown in the plurality of images.
A system to measure strain in an article, comprising:
- a first camera to capture a first plurality of images of the article;
- a second camera to capture a second plurality of images of the article;
- and
- a processor and memory in selective communication with the first camera and the second camera, the processor and memory being configured to
- determine strain in a first region of the article based on a first plurality of reference marks shown in the first plurality of images, and
- determine strain in a second region of the article based on a second plurality of reference marks shown in the second plurality of images.
