Full-Field Vibration Measurement Using Camera Through Shearlet System

Traditionally, vibration measurement is done using an accelerometer or Laser Doppler Vibrometer, which is an intrusive and single point measurement respectively. This paper demonstrated vibration signal extracted from a perceptually invisible vibrating object using only a camera non-intrusively at full-field capacity. the camera that is capable to capture 1000 frames-per-second video was used to capture the motion of the vibrating object. Each frame of the video was decomposed using complex shearlet transform and the extracted signal was compared to an accelerometer. Shearlet decomposed each frame of the video into complex coefficients which were later used to recover the motion between two consecutive frames. Phase information that were used to retrieve the vibration signal were weighted to decrease unwanted noise. Resonant frequencies of a simply supported beam at 104.0 Hz, 209.5 Hz and 396.0Hz were successfully recovered. Single frequency extraction from an excited loud-speaker at specific frequencies were also conducted and showed a clear peak-to-valley frequency spectrum recovery. the potential of using camera as a full-field displacement measurement where each pixel acting as a vibrometer was explored. Full-field test to recover the mode shape of a circular membrane showed promising result with eight mode shapes successfully retrieved. the experiments proved that each individual pixel was able to retrieve motion at subpixel level that is at 0.00001 pixel scale
