• Current structural health monitoring methods often require structures to be taken out of service for inspection, leading to downtime and cost.
• There is a need for a non-destructive, in-service monitoring solution that can provide real-time structural health data without disrupting normal operations, thereby optimizing maintenance schedules and ensuring safety more effectively.

Multiple Cameras:

• The invention utilizes two or more cameras with adjustable orientations for capturing images of the structure.

Programmable Hardware Platform:

• It employs a hardware platform capable of controlling image acquisition, performing Digital Image Correlation (DIC) computations, and post-processing results.

DIC Computation:

• Digital Image Correlation is used to analyze image data and calculate three-dimensional displacements of the area of interest.

Mechanical Enclosure:

• The device is housed within a protective enclosure, ensuring its durability and suitable mounting on the structure.

Versatility:

• The technology can adapt to various structures and sizes, capturing images at different frequencies, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.
