Nontarget Image-Based Technique for Small Cable Vibration Measurement Y. F. Ji1 and C. C. Chang2 . d e v r Abstract: In this paper, a proof-of-concept image-based technique is proposed for measuring small cable vibration. The technique e s e r s analyzes an image sequence of a vibrating cable segment captured by a camera. An optical flow method is used to calculate variation of t h optical intensity of an arbitrary selected region of interest ROI on the cable image sequence. The obtained optical flow vector provides g i r l l the direction of vibration for the ROI on the cable segment, which then can be used to estimate displacement of the ROI on the image a ; y plane. Furthermore, actual displacement of the ROI can be extracted when some conditions are met. The proposed technique is validated l n o e both in the laboratory using a rigid pipe and in the field on a small pedestrian bridge cable. Results show that the technique is able to s u l measure the pipe motion and the cable vibration accurately. The proposed technique requires only one commercial camera, and no prior a n camera calibration is needed. In addition, the use of an optical flow method eliminates the need to attach any target to the cable and makes o s r e the technique very easy to implement. Despite these advantages, the technique still needs further development before it can be applied to p r o long-span bridge cables. F .
