This paper investigates the effect of subset size, associated with image pattern quality and subset displacement functions, on the accuracy of deformation measurements by digital image correlation(DIC). A concept of subset entropy is introduced in this work to quantify the subset image pattern quality for DIC analysis and its effectiveness was demonstrated by experimental studies. By employing white-light images with almost uniform subset entropy and first-order displacement functions, the effect of subset size oil DIC analysis was investigated for the deformation cases of translation, uniform deformation, and simulated quadratic deformation, respectively. The results show that the chosen subset size must be large enough for precise displacement measurements when Subset displacement functions match underlying actual deformation. On the other hand, optimal subset size in DIC for nonhomgeneous deformation measurements appears as a result of a tradeoff between the influence of random errors and systematic errors.
