Structural vibration monitoring method based on computer vision and motion compensation
A structural vibration monitoring method based on computer vision and motion compensation provided in the present disclosure adopts a dual-camera system for self-motion compensation. The dual-camera system consists of a primary camera and a secondary camera rigidly connected to each other. The primary camera directly measures a structure displacement. This method inevitably includes an error generated due to motion of the primary camera. Meanwhile, the secondary camera measures displacements of translation and rotation, so as to estimate a measurement error caused by the motion of the primary camera. Then, with the displacement directly measured by the main camera minus the measurement error, a corrected structure displacement is obtained, thereby truthfully and accurately monitoring vibrations of a bridge structure.

System and method for determining the risk of failure of a structure
A system and method for measuring dynamic properties of a structure, and for using the measured dynamic properties to assess the dynamic performance of the structure. The system and method can separate the measured response into low amplitude and high amplitude data to reduce the influence of outside forces and mass. The system and method measures dynamic properties of the structure such as frequencies of resonance, mode shapes, and non-linear damping, and uses them in an analysis of the structure to compare the dynamic response of the structure with the anticipated properties of a structure built according to applicable building code requirements. The system and method thus quantifies a risk of failure of the structure by determining a risk ratio that compares an as-is condition of the structure with an as-designed condition of the structure.
