Abstract
Computer vision-based displacement measurement techniques are increasingly used for structural health monitoring. However, the vision sensors employed are easily affected by optical turbulence when capturing images of the structure, resulting in displacement measurement errors that significantly reduce the accuracy required in engineering applications. Hence, this paper develops a multi-measurement point method to address this problem by mitigating optical-turbulence errors with spatial randomness. Then, the effectiveness of the proposed method in mitigating optical-turbulence errors is verified by static target experiments, in which the RMSE correction rate can reach up to 82%. Meanwhile, the effects of target size and the number of measurement points on the proposed method are evaluated, and the optimal target design criteria are proposed to improve our method's performance in mitigating optical-turbulence errors under different measurement conditions. Additionally, extensive dynamic target experiments reveal that the proposed method achieves an RMSE correction rate of 69% after mitigating the optical-turbulence error. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method improves the visual displacement measurement accuracy and retains the detailed information of the displacement measurement results.
