Vibration analysis is a key troubleshooting methodology for assessing the health of factory machinery. We propose an unobtrusive framework for at-a-distance visual estimation of such (possibly high frequency) vibrations, using a low fps (frames-per-second) camera that may, for example, be mounted on a worker's smart-glass. Our key innovation is to use an external stroboscopic light source (that, for example, may be provided by an assistive robot), to illuminate the machine with multiple mutually-prime strobing frequencies, and use the resulting aliased signals to efficiently estimate the different vibration frequencies via an enhanced version of the Chinese Remainder Theorem. Experimental results show …
