“…However, non-contact monitoring technologies probably attracted most of the recent interest of the engineering community, e.g., [36]. Various approaches were explored in civil engineering for vibration testing; that is, laser Doppler vibrometry, e.g., [37][38][39][40]; microwave radar interferometry, e.g., [41][42][43][44][45]; infrasound, e.g., [46,47]; global positioning system (GPS) sensing, e.g., [48][49][50][51]; satellite remote sensing, e.g., [52][53][54][55][56][57]; theodolites and total stations, e.g., [58,59]; optical methods based on the moiré effect, e.g., [60][61][62][63][64]; and optical visionbased methods using digital image correlation (DIC), e.g., [65][66][67][68][69][70][71][72][73]. Indeed, the possibility to eliminate physical installations of sensors is very attractive, especially for structures that might not be easily or safely accessible, yet requiring rapid assessment of their conditions, for example, following extreme events such as strong earthquakes, explosions, or floods.…”
