A measurement based on digital image processing has been developed in order to determine the displacement field of a slope during the failure of a dyke. The dyke was brought to failure by water infiltration, which was supposed to be a simulation of wave overtopping. It was found that the measuring technique could successfully be applied to digitize the deformation of the slope during the field test. Thanks to the measurement a good comparison could be made between small-scale tests in a geotechnical centrifuge and field tests.
