3D imaging has become popular for analyzing material microstructures. When time lapse series of 3D pictures are acquired during a single experiment, it is possible to measure displacement fields via digital volume correlation (DVC), thereby leading to 4D results. Such 4D analyses have been performed for almost two decades. The present paper aims at reviewing the achievements of and challenges faced by such measurement technique. Ex-situ and in-situ experiments are discussed. A general and unified DVC framework is introduced. Various sources of measurement bias and uncertainties are analyzed. The current challenges are studied and some propositions are given to address them.
