Digital image correlation (DIC) is a full-field measurement technique. In instantaneous approaches (i.e., registering two images), DIC only gives access to displacement (or velocity) fields. Consequently, acceleration fields are not one of the primary measured variables. To evaluate acceleration fields, a regularization scheme has to be used. The latter may be either heuristic or mechanically motivated. The key idea of the paper is to use spatiotemporal analyses in order to explicitly measure acceleration fields. Various regularization schemes will be assessed, and their relative merits will be studied when performing uncertainty quantications. Pyrotechnic cutting simulations will provide a set of articial pictures to be studied in order to validate the new implementations. This analysis enables the measurement performances to be evaluated for the new implementations.
