Abstract
Displacement is critical when it comes to the evaluation of civil structures. Large displacement can be dangerous. There are many methods that can be used to monitor structural displacements, but every method has its benefits and limitations. Lucas–Kanade (LK) optical flow is recognized as a superior computer vision displacement tracking method, but it only applies to small displacement monitoring. An upgraded LK optical flow method is developed in this study and used to detect large displacement motions. One motion controlled by a multiple purpose testing system (MTS) and a free-falling experiment were designed to verify the developed method. The results provided by the upgraded LK optical flow method showed 97 percent accuracy when compared with the movement of the MTS piston. In order to capture the free-falling large displacement, the pyramid and warp optical flow methods are included in the upgraded LK optical flow method and compared with the results of template matching. The warping algorithm with the second derivative Sobel operator provides accurate displacements with 96% average accuracy.
