Seeing the Vibration: Visual-Based Detection of Low Frequency Vibration Environment Pollution

Abstract

Visual information can be easily obtained nowadays with more access to various photographic facilities. Appropriate logical analysis and processing of massive visual information could apply to flexible environment pollution detection. In this paper, we present a visual-based non-contact sensing method to detect the low frequency vibration pollution in daily life. The edge points of vibrating objects with more vibration information are extracted using bilateral filtering and Sobel operator. The Sobel operator weights the influence of the pixel position, which make the edge feature extraction effect better and the edge feature obtained more obvious. After that, the continuous frames of the vibration objects with edge information are transformed into several one-dimensional pixel level signals as the input of multi-scale network, which also improves the generalization ability. Experiments on daily objects under low frequency vibration are conducted. The detection accuracy is above 99%, which proves the reliability of the proposed method for the detection of low frequency vibration circumstance pollution.
