SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SCALING STRAIN IMAGE DATA

A computer readable storage medium has a computer program stored thereon, which includes a set of instructions that when executed by a computer causes the computer to access positional data acquired from a material at a plurality of states of compression. The set of instructions also causes the computer to estimate a plurality of strain data sets from the positional data, each of the plurality of strain data sets corresponding to a different state of compression, and compare a first pair of strain data sets of the plurality of strain data sets with each other. The set of set of instructions further causes the computer to calculate a first measure of correlation from the comparison, scale a first strain data set of the first pair of strain data sets if the first measure of correlation is above a correlation threshold, and display the scaled first strain data set to a user.
