• Abstract: Displacement is an important measurement for the assessment of structural conditions, but its field measurement is often hindered by difficulties associated with sensor installation and measurement accuracy. To overcome the disadvantages of conventional displacement measurement, computer vision (CV)-based methods have been implemented due to their remote sensing capabilities and accuracy. This paper presents a strategy for non-target structural displacement measurement that makes use of CV to avoid the need to install a target on the structure while calibrating the displacement using structured light. The proposed system called as LAVOLUTION calculates the relative position of the camera with regard to the structure using four equally spaced beams of structured light and obtains a scale factor to convert pixel movement into structural displacement. A jig for the four beams of structured light is designed and a corresponding alignment process is proposed. A method for calculating the scale factor using the designed jig for tunable structured-light is proposed and validated via numerical simulations and lab-scale experiments. To confirm the feasibility of the proposed displacement measurement process, experiments on a shaking table and a full-scale bridge are conducted and the accuracy of the proposed method is compared with that of a reference laser doppler vibrometer.
