The dynamic measurement and identification of structural deformation are essential for structural health monitoring. Traditional contact-type displacement monitoring inevitably requires the arrangement of measurement points on physical structures and the setting of stable reference systems, which limits the application of dynamic displacement measurement of structures in practice. Computer vision-based structural displacement monitoring has the characteristics of non-contact measurement, simple installation, and relatively low cost. However, the existing displacement identification methods are still influenced by lighting conditions, image resolution, and shooting-rate, which limits engineering applications. This paper presents a data fusion method for contact acceleration monitoring and non-contact displacement recognition, utilizing the high dynamic sampling rate of traditional contact acceleration sensors. It establishes and validates an accurate estimation method for dynamic deformation states. The structural displacement is obtained by combining an improved KLT algorithm and asynchronous multi-rate Kalman filtering. The results show that the presented method can help improve the displacement sampling rate and collect high-frequency vibration information compared with only the vision measurement technique. The normalized root mean square error is less than 2% for the proposed method.
