Paper Abstract
This paper provides a general description of main issues related to the design of an optical measurement system applied
to continuous displacement monitoring of long-span suspension bridges. The proposed system’s architecture is presented
and its main components - camera and active targets - are described in terms of geometrical and radiometric
characteristics required for long distance measurement of the tridimensional displacement of the stiffness girder in the
middle section of the bridge’s central span. The intrinsic and extrinsic camera parameterization processes, which support the adopted measurement approach, are explained in a specific section. Since the designed measurement system is intended to perform continuous displacement monitoring in long distance observation framework, particular attention is given to environmental effects, namely, refraction, turbulence and sensor saturation phenomena, which can influence the displacement measurement accuracy. Finally, a measurement uncertainty method is discussed in order to provide a suitable solution for the determination of the accuracy related to the proposed measurement approach.
