Title: Computer vision-based dynamic bridge shape recognition method
Inventor: ZUOCAI WANG
IPC: G06T7/50
Filed: 2022-10-14
Abstract: The present disclosure provides a computer vision-based dynamic bridge shape distortion analysis method. The method comprises acquiring a video by using a sensor with a suitable sampling frequency and resolution to capture, cropping the acquired video and magnifying structural deformation in the video using an Euler video magnification algorithm. The target structure in each frame of an image after motion magnification is processed to preliminarily determine possible structural edge pixels using a Prewitt operator and solving positions of structural edge points in the area using a spatial moment sub-pixel edge detection algorithm. A dynamic shape recognition result of the structure is then obtained according to an edge recognition reference image/point cloud result of each frame and the dynamic shape distortion of the structure is obtained based on a known distance between two pixels on a surface of an object in a picture and a video motion magnification coefficient thus providing accurate dynamic shape variations.
