Abstract
The present disclosure relates to an image processing method including the following steps: receiving a deformation or displacement image; defining a meshing of the deformation image; assigning a respective pair of unknown variables to each node of the meshing; detecting one (or more) node(s) located at the boundary between two different materials of the body studied; enriching the node(s) detected; calculating a basic matrix for each basic cell of the meshing; assembling the basic matrixes in order to obtain an overall structural matrix; calculating a resilience image of the body based on the overall structural matrix.
