Abstract
A method and system for processing laser vibrometry data are embodied in a processor configured to employ a statistical signal processing technique (e.g., a Bayesian processing technique) to process one or more mathematical models, laser vibrometry data for a system under observation, and prior information to generate estimates of parameters for the one or more mathematical models.
Claims14
A laser vibrometry method comprising the steps of:
- employing a laser to generate laser vibrometry data for a system under observation;
- performing Bayesian parameter estimation calculations for a mathematical model of the system under observation, the laser vibrometry data and prior information to generate estimations of parameters of the mathematical model;
- evaluating the estimations of parameters;
- and
- if desired or necessary, repeating the step of performing Bayesian parameter estimation calculations with a different model and/or different laser vibrometry data.
