Abstract

A method for modal analysis of bridge structures based on surveillance videos is provided. A plurality of continuous cameras are utilized for realizing high-precision surveillance for the structure of the bridge. Firstly, a plurality of regions are selected in the viewing angle of each of the cameras, and a conversion relation between images of the regions and actual displacements is calculated; next, displacements on the images shot by the cameras are converted into actual displacements of targets, so as to obtain displacements of the targets relative to the cameras; displacements of the adjacent cameras are sequentially passed according to a difference value from the ground of an abutment, so as to obtain displacements of all camera bodies; and finally, the displacements of all the targets relative to the ground of the abutment are calculated, and the structural mode of the bridge is calculated.
