As a contactless full-field displacement and strain measurement technique, two-dimensional digital image correlation (DIC) has been increasingly employed to reconstruct in-plane deformation in the field of experimental mechanics. In practical application, it has been demonstrated that the selection of subset size and search zone size exerts a critical influence on measurement results of DIC, especially when decorrelation occurs between the reference image and the deformed image due to large deformation over the search zone involved. Correlation coefficient is an important parameter in DIC, and it also makes the most direct connection between subset size and search zone. A self-adaptive correlation parameter adjustment method based on correlation coefficient threshold to realize measurement efficiently by adjusting the size of the subset and search zone in a self-adaptive approach is proposed. The feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed method are verified through a set of experiments, which indicates that the presented algorithm is able to significantly reduce the cumbersome trial calculation as compared with the traditional DIC, in which the initial correlation parameters needed to be manually selected in advance based on practical experience.
