SUMMARY

Motion Amplification enables you to quickly and easily see and analyze what is invisible to the naked eye and move to root-cause problem-solving. Software turns millions of pixels in today’s modern cameras into millions of individual data points that can be monitored, read, and analyzed.

This technology measures deflection, displacement, movement, and vibration not visible to the human eye. Camera technology is utilized in conjunction with software and processing algorithms to extract meaningful data. This technology turns every pixel in the camera’s view into a sensor capable of measuring vibration or motion with high levels of accuracy. The technology of motion amplification is presented. In particular, the application of this new tool to machine reliability is explored. One of the home-runs of reliability practitioners is to address the root cause of problems. Motion Amplification enables the user to see the big picture and generate actionable recommendations. A number of interesting case studies are used to illustrate this point.
