This paper presents a synchronous multipoint velocity profile measurement system, which acquires the vibration velocities as well as images of vibrating objects by combining optical heterodyne interferometry and a high-speed CMOS-DVR camera. The high-speed CMOS-DVR camera records a sequence of images of the vibrating object. Then, by extracting and processing multiple pixels at the same time, a digital demodulation technique is implemented to simultaneously acquire the vibrating velocity of the target from the recorded sequences of images. This method is validated with an experiment. A piezoelectric ceramic plate with standard vibration characteristics is used as the vibrating target, which is driven by a standard sinusoidal signal.
