Abstract
A vibration monitoring system comprising a measurement unit and processing circuitry coupled to the measurement unit and an imaging unit, and configured to: acquire, from the measurement unit, vibration data for each target in the plurality of targets; acquire, from an imaging unit, an image of a scene including each target in the plurality of targets; determine a vibration monitoring data structure; and provide the vibration monitoring data structure to a remote device, allowing display at the remote device of a visual representation of the scene including each target in the plurality of targets, and a representation of the vibration data for each target in the plurality of targets.
Claims15
A vibration monitoring system, for remote monitoring of vibration of each target in a plurality of targets, the vibration monitoring system comprising:
- a measurement unit configured to perform contactless measurement of vibration of each target in the plurality of targets;
- and
- processing circuitry coupled to the measurement unit and an imaging unit, and configured to:
- acquire, from the measurement unit, vibration data for each target in the plurality of targets;
- acquire, from the imaging unit, an image of a scene including each target in the plurality of targets;
- determine a vibration monitoring data structure based on a target position of each target in the plurality of targets, the vibration data for each target in the plurality of targets, the image, and a coordinate transformation between a coordinate system of the scene, in which the target position of each target in the plurality of targets is defined, and a coordinate system of the image;
- and
- provide the vibration monitoring data structure to a remote device, allowing display at the remote device of a visual representation of the scene including each target in the plurality of targets, and a representation of the vibration data for each target in the plurality of targets.
A method of remote vibration monitoring, comprising the steps of:
- acquiring, from a measurement unit configured to perform contactless vibration measurements, vibration data for each target in a plurality of targets;
- acquiring, from an imaging unit, an image of a scene including each target in the plurality of targets;
- determining a vibration monitoring data structure based on a target position of each target in the plurality of targets, the vibration data for each target in the plurality of targets, the image, and a coordinate transformation between a coordinate system of the scene, in which the target position of each target in the plurality of targets is defined, and a coordinate system of the image;
- and
- providing the vibration monitoring data structure to a remote device, allowing display at the remote device of a visual representation of the scene including each target in the plurality of targets, and a representation of the vibration data for each target in the plurality of targets.
