Computer Vision for Structural Dynamics and Health Monitoring

Informationen zum Autor Dongming Feng, PhD, is Professor of Civil Engineering at Southeast University. His major fields of research include computer vision-based structural health monitoring, safety assessment, maintenance, and rehabilitation of cable-supported bridges. Maria Q. Feng, PhD, is Renwick Professor of Civil Engineering at Columbia University. Her research is at the forefront of multidisciplinary science and engineering within novel sensors, structural dynamics and health monitoring algorithms, nondestructive evaluation techniques, and smart materials/structures. Klappentext Provides comprehensive coverage of theory and hands-on implementation of computer vision-based sensors for structural health monitoringThis book is the first to fill the gap between scientific research of computer vision and its practical applications for structural health monitoring (SHM). It provides a complete, state-of-the-art review of the collective experience that the SHM community has gained in recent years. It also extensively explores the potentials of the vision sensor as a fast and cost-effective tool for solving SHM problems based on both time and frequency domain analytics, broadening the application of emerging computer vision sensor technology in not only scientific research but also engineering practice.Computer Vision for Structural Dynamics and Health Monitoring presents fundamental knowledge, important issues, and practical techniques critical to successful development of vision-based sensors in detail, including robustness of template matching techniques for tracking targets; coordinate conversion methods for determining calibration factors to convert image pixel displacements to physical displacements; sensing by tracking artificial targets vs. natural targets; measurements in real time vs. by post-processing; and field measurement error sources and mitigation methods. The book also features a wide range of tests conducted in both controlled laboratory and complex field environments in order to evaluate the sensor accuracy and demonstrate the unique features and merits of computer vision-based structural displacement measurement.* Offers comprehensive understanding of the principles and applications of computer vision for structural dynamics and health monitoring* Helps broaden the application of the emerging computer vision sensor technology from scientific research to engineering practice such as field condition assessment of civil engineering structures and infrastructure systems* Includes a wide range of laboratory and field testing examples, as well as practical techniques for field application* Provides MATLAB code for most of the issues discussed including that of image processing, structural dynamics, and SHM applicationsComputer Vision for Structural Dynamics and Health Monitoring is ideal for graduate students, researchers, and practicing engineers who are interested in learning about this emerging sensor technology and advancing their applications in SHM and other engineering problems. It will also benefit those in civil and aerospace engineering, energy, and computer science.
