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.
