Abstract
Present embodiments pertain to systems, apparatuses, and methods for analyzing and reporting movements characterized by torsional vibration in mechanical structures, machines, and machine components, through the use of an acquired video recording representing a plurality of cycles of motion, by measuring intensity values of a subset of pixels contained in a region of interest within the video recording in a plurality of frames of the video recording, wherein an application of one or more numerical algorithms to the repeating patterns in the intensity waveform enables the torsional vibration characteristics of the component to be determined.
