Abstract
The present disclosure describes systems and methods to correct for edge-position error associated with brightness levels of an associated back screen in a video extensometer system. In some examples, to correct for edge-position error, a processing system is configured to execute an edge detection algorithm to measure and/or calculate a difference between a perceived edge-position and a reference edge-position associated with an amount of error, and calculate a correction term to address the error. The correction term can be added to the result of the edge detection algorithm in case of white-to black transition, and subtracted in case of black-to-white transition to correct for the error.
