Abstract: Visual vibrometry involves motion registration of vibrating objects from their video using image processing and computer vision methods. Its advantages include being full-field, contactless and not requiring sophisticated data acquisition devices. To leverage its use to record motion of cutting tools that vibrate at high frequencies and with small motion requires video to be recorded at high speeds and resolutions. However, since cameras trade speed for resolution, motion can become spatiotemporally aliased. This paper shows that it is possible to recover motion by upsampling the spatiotemporally aliased video using convolution neural networks (CNN)-based deep learning methods. Since the upsampled motion's spectra has at least as many peaks as the upsampled rate, we also present a simple method to deduce true modes from observed ones. Methods presented are generalised and can measure high frequency and small vibratory motion using even low-speed and resolution cameras.
