Quick Start

Installation Instructions

Before you can run multiDIC, follow these steps to install and configure your environment:

  1. Download the Project You can download the latest version of multiDIC from the repository or extract it from a provided zip file.

  2. MATLAB Requirements Ensure that MATLAB (version 2020a or later) is installed on your machine. You will also need the following MATLAB toolboxes: - Image Processing Toolbox: For processing and analyzing the multi-camera images. - Parallel Computing Toolbox (optional): For improving performance with parallel processing during large datasets or computationally intensive tasks.

  3. Add multiDIC to MATLAB Path Open MATLAB and add the multiDIC project folder (where the xDIC folder resides) to the MATLAB path.

  4. Run a Test Example To confirm everything is working, run the basic example: `matlab runDIC; `

First Steps with runDIC.m

The core script to execute the DIC process is runDIC.m. Before running, configure parameters in config.m and execute the script: `matlab runDIC; `

Basic Example for Finger 3D Reconstruction

  1. Prepare the data (images from multiple calibrated cameras).

2. Run the 3D reconstruction: `matlab runDIC; ` 3. Visualize the results using plot_multidic_results.m.
