Motion amplification
Nowadays, Motion amplification is a relevant topic that leaves no one indifferent. This issue has caused a great impact on society, generating widespread interest and being the subject of debate in different areas. Motion amplification has long been the subject of study and research due to its importance, and opinions on it are varied and often passionate. In this article, we will explore in depth the different aspects of Motion amplification and its impact in various contexts, offering a broad and detailed vision that allows the reader to better understand this very relevant issue.
Motion amplification is an optical-visual technique for detecting and visualizing vibrations and resonances. It works by detecting small variations in pixels from video that are otherwise difficult to perceive, and amplifying these variations to produce a visualization that makes it easier to perceive small movements,[1] including transients. In this way, one can get clues about the sources of backlash, run-out and structural weaknesses in machines and structures.[2]
It can be a tool for more targeted work by preventing wear by identifying necessary adjustments, avoiding downtime by replacing wearparts in a timely manner before failure occurs, or to help with fault detection during repairs. In industry, motion amplification is particularly used for the inspection of rotating equipment such as fans,[3] pumps and engines. In healthcare, motion amplification can be used in rehabilitation to improve movement patterns in patients. An example of a patented commercial motion amplification product is the Iris M from RDI Technologies.[4]
