Resume:

1.- Objects vibrate at preferred resonant frequencies and modes, often imperceptibly.

2.- Recent computer vision work can recover subtle vibrations from regular videos.

3.- Relating temporal motion frequencies to an object's resonant frequencies enables estimating its vibration modes.

4.- Vibration modes + object geometry information allows estimating material properties like stiffness.

5.- Motion considered is very small-scale deformation around an object's rest state.

6.- Small deformation scale makes vibrations difficult to see but simple to analyze via linear modal analysis.

7.- Drawing from non-destructive testing field, which assesses physical properties of structures without damage.

8.- Typical vibrational analysis uses contact sensors or laser vibrometers. Video enables trading temporal resolution for spatial resolution.

9.- Ubiquity of video allows data-driven approaches impractical with specialized vibrational analysis equipment.

10.- Estimating material properties from video has applications in material recognition.

11.- Analysis uses a global power spectrum summarizing temporal frequencies of motion in the video.

12.- Objects vibrate at preferred resonant frequencies, visible as spikes in the motion spectrum. Each spike is a vibration mode/shape.

13.- Vibration mode shapes relate motion at different object points - opposite moving points have opposite phase.

14.- Resonant frequencies are global object properties, largely invariant to viewpoint changes.

15.- Modal analysis: resonant frequency pattern depends on object geometry, scaled by material properties.

16.- Motion spectrum gives ambiguous combination of structural and material properties, resolved by known geometry information.

17.- Local pixel motion spectra calculated, phase and amplitude visualized to see mode shapes.

18.- Spectra are powered and averaged to get global constructive power spectrum used to estimate material properties.

19.- Experiment 1: Estimating material properties of clamped rod with known geometry from high-speed video.

20.- Rod's fundamental frequency encodes material properties. Known geometry allows isolating material properties' effect.

21.- Rod motion extracted, power spectrum calculated, fundamental frequency spike identified using expected resonance ratios and mode shapes.

22.- Estimated rod elasticity closely matches ground truth measurements for various materials and lengths.

23.- Experiment 2: Estimating material properties of hanging fabric with unknown but similar geometry from regular video.

24.- Small fabric vibrations governed by simpler relationships than large wind-blown deformations, relate to physical properties.

25.- Power spectra calculated from imperceptible ambient fabric motion recorded with regular camera.

26.- Similar fabric geometry enables meaningful spectra comparison, with trends apparent across samples.

27.- Regression model predicts fabric material properties from power spectrum features.

28.- Accurate predictions of area weight and stiffness trends from both sound-excited and passive fabric motion.

29.- Features are largely invariant to camera and viewpoint, outperform prior work.

30.- Cameras offer promise for vibrational analysis vs specialized equipment, enables new computer vision applications.
