NOVEL ZERO-CONTACT EDGE DETECTION METHOD FOR ESTIMATION OF REAL-TIME ANGULAR POSITIONS AND ANGULAR VELOCITIES OF A ROTATING STRUCTURE WITH APPLICATION TO ROTATING STRUCTURE VIBRATION MEASUREMENT

Publication number: 20250148609

Abstract: The present invention relates to zero-contact methods of detecting edges of rotating structures, said methods carried out without attaching an encoder or mark to the rotating structure. The methods were developed for use with image-based tracking continuously scanning laser vibrometer (CSLV) systems for tracking and scanning a rotating structure, using a one-dimensional (1D) or two-dimensional (2D) scan scheme, for vibration measurement and modal parameter identification.
