A non-contact vision sensor system for monitoring structural displacements with advanced Zernike subpixel edge detection technique is suggested in this paper. Edge detection can detect features of objects effectively without using templates. Subpixel techniques provide more accurate and cost-effective results when compared to integer pixel methods. Built on these two techniques, a new version sensor method was developed to detect the vibrations of structures in this study. Satisfactory agreements were found between the displacements measured by the vision sensor system and those recorded by the Multipurpose Testing System (MTS). A field test was then carried out on a street sign using the proposed vision system. Satisfactory results were obtained using the new version of the sensor system at many points simultaneously without any manually marked targets. Moreover, the system was able to provide natural frequencies and mode shapes of the target instantaneously, which could be used to accurately locate damage.
