Abstract

See full text

A system for measuring movement of a structural component of a structure includes a projector which directs a laser or other trackable beam from an origin having a fixed location relative to the structure to a target surface configured to be fixed to the structural component. The beam strikes the target surface to produce a trackable spot at an incidence location on the target surface. A camera coupled to the target surface tracks the position of the incidence location as it moves on the target surface over time in response to relative movement between the structural component and the origin. A computer processor receives data from the camera and calculates the magnitude of movement of the structural component relative to the origin.
