Computer vision has advanced markedly in the last decade and has had new applications such as the analysis of the behavior of structures. The analysis of displacement and deformation of structures is an important process in Structural Health Monitoring (SHM). There are different techniques and devices for measuring strains and displacements, such as linearvariable-differential-transducers (LVDTs) and the global position system (GPS), which can be expensive and may not provide sufficient accuracy. This paper proposes vision-based methods for non-contact measurement of displacements and deformations. These methods allow for accurate non-contact measurements at low cost using off-the-shelf components, basically a camera, a computer, and a target. In this work, we test propose a vision based method for the measurement of displacements and we discuss the trade-offs in terms of robustness, computational complexity and accuracy. Encouraging results show that the displacement of a structure can be both determined accurately and fast enough in real time.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
