  • Patent number: 11593952
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 11519724
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for monitoring ground settlement based on computer vision. Before monitoring starts, the first image frame is captured. For one measuring point, the area of the top LED lamp is defined as a tracking template, its pixel center is the reference point for settlement calculation, and a monitoring area is defined by an estimated range. After monitoring starts, the best matched of the lamp template is searched for in the monitoring area of a second image frame. When the best matched area is obtained, its pixel center is obtained as the new lamp position, and it is selected as the new template; the pixel displacement between two adjacent image frames can be obtained by comparison. The total pixel displacement of multiple points during the monitoring period is calculated through the accumulated displacement, and the actual settlement is calculated through a pixel-physical ratio.
