Nontarget-based Measurement of 6-DOF Structural Displacement using Combined RGB Color and Depth Information
2020
Structural displacement is an important physical quantity that provides essential information regarding the structural conditions and the safety of a structure. To date, a wide variety of displacement measurement methods have been developed. As a noncontact type of measurement, the computer-vision-based approach receives significant attention for its cost effectiveness, measurement convenience, and great performance. However, most existing methods are limited to one- or two-degrees-of-freedom (DOF) displacement measurement and require known dimensions of structural members or predefined target markers attached to the target structure, which limits real-world application. This article proposes a nontarget-based 6-DOF displacement measurement method using the combined RGB and depth information. The proposed method utilizes three-dimensional information of measurement points on the target structure obtained using the RGB-D camera, and suggests a coordinate transform scheme to determine the 6-DOF displacement in the physical domain. The proposed method is validated in two laboratory experiments using a shear building model and a pan-tilt with a measurement plate, in which both translational and rotational displacements are measured.
