Full-field laser heterodyne imaging vibrometry using a CMOS–DVR system

A laser heterodyne imaging vibrometry is proposed for full-field vibration measurement. The vibration responses are imaged and recorded using a CMOS camera and a digital video recorder. A digital demodulation method based on a cumulative distribution function and autocorrelation is designed to demodulate signals affected by speckle noise. The experimental investigations confirm the viability of the proposed method for vibration measurement. Meanwhile, a comparison with laser Doppler vibrometry is performed to further validate the method.

prove the proposed vibrometry is an effective and precise option for full-field vibration measurement.
