    Abstract: A monocular vision-based method for measuring displacement and trajectory of planar motion. In this method, a sequence image of a motion of a high-contrast feature mark fixed on a moving plane to be measured is collected using a camera.

Firstly, a movement sequence image of a feature mark fixed on a working table of a rotary motion generating device is acquired via an acquisition and imaging device. Secondly, a region of interest on the movement sequence image of the feature mark under different shooting distances and rotating conditions is determined by cyclic matching between a set of circular templates and the movement sequence image of the feature mark. Then, a sub-pixel of feature line edges in the region of interest is extracted using a line segment detection method, and only the feature line edges in a motion direction are retained through a constraint of the number of edge points. Finally, the angular velocity and angular acceleration are calculated by using the extracted feature line edges in the motion direction.
