Systems and methods for error correction for video extensometers

A system for correcting for errors during a test process in a video extensometry system, the system comprising:

• a testing system to secure a test specimen;
• an imaging device arranged to capture images of a surface of the test specimen;
• one or more motion sensors configured to measure one or more movement parameters associated with the video extensometry system;
• one or more actuators to adjust a position or orientation of the imaging device;
• and
• a processing system to:
• receive image data from the imaging device;
• receive sensor data corresponding to vibration measurements from the one or more motion sensors;
• compare the image data or the sensor data to one or more data threshold values;
• calculate a correction factor based in part on the image data and the sensor data in response to the sensor data violating the one or more data threshold values;
• and
• command the one or more actuators to adjust the position or the orientation of the imaging device based at least in part on the correction factor.
