            Abstract : 
Digital speckle correlation method (DSCM) is an successful nondestructive testing technique for the whole displacements. The computational accuracy is a challenging issue. In this paper, a new gradient-based method is proposed, the accuracy of the method is demonstrated via three computed-simulated speckle image pairs. Combining the method with radial basis function interpolation, two experimentally obtained deformation fields are measured.
