Area of Science:

Computer Vision
Robotics
Mechanical Engineering

Background:

Accurate motion tracking is crucial for various applications, including vibration analysis and robotics.
Existing methods often require complex feature detection or markers, limiting their simplicity and applicability.

Purpose of the Study:

To introduce a novel, targetless motion tracking technique for high-accuracy planar movement detection.
To demonstrate the method's simplicity, ease of implementation, and wide applicability.

Main Methods:

The technique relies on computing and tracking the intersection point of two nonparallel straight-line segments within an image.
No complex object structures or features need to be identified, simplifying the process.

Main Results:

The method achieved subpixel accuracy in tracking planar movements, with precision reaching thousandths of a pixel for harmonic vibrations.
Validation was performed using a high-speed camera (1000 fps) recording a vibrating object in a laboratory setting.

Conclusions:

The developed targetless motion tracking method offers a simple yet highly accurate solution for motion analysis.
It is broadly applicable for measuring distances, amplitudes, and frequencies of vibrations using vision systems.
