A small-displacement sensor based on total-internal reflection theory and surface plasmon resonance technology is proposed for use in heterodyne interferometry. A small displacement can be obtained simply by measuring the variation in phase difference between s- and p-polarization states with the small-displacement sensor. The theoretical displacement resolution of the small-displacement sensor...

Due to the fact that there is no static reference point in ocean space, relative measurement sensors such as laser cannot be applied of ship motion. In order collect motion signal a more accurately, an absolute method for proposed. Firstly, acceleration heave direction obtained by using sensor; secondly, time–frequency domain integration algorithm used avoid problem quadratic trend item and inf...

A real-time dynamic displacement estimation technique is developed by data fusion of laser Doppler vibrometer (LDV) and light dectection and ranging (LiDAR). The velocity measurement of LDV is low level of noise and sampled at high frequency, but has accumulated error during integration. Also, the LiDAR displacement measurement has high level of noise and low sampling frequency. The proposed te...

Bridge displacement is the most basic evaluation index of the health status of a bridge structure. The existing measurement methods for bridge displacement basically fail to realize long-term and real-time dynamic monitoring of bridge structures, because of the low degree of automation and the insufficient precision, causing bottlenecks and restriction. To solve this problem, we proposed a brid...
