This paper discusses the utilization of computer vision technology to capture a series of structural vibration images. The resulting sub-pixel vibration displacement of the monitoring nodes are then obtained by Digital Image Correlation ( DIC) technology, the fast Bayesian FFT method is then adopted to identify the dynamic modal parameters of the tested structure. To assess the precision and reliability of the dynamic modal parameter identified for a structure, a combination of computer vision based vibration test and fast Bayesian FFT methodology is conducted in this paper. A 5 6 m steel truss is adopted as an example to extract its vibration displacement data from captured videos for the undamaged and other 5 damaged conditions of the test structure. The size of the errors and reasons in the identified displacement of monitoring nodes at various locations in the truss are analyzed in this study. Additionally, the fast Bayesian FFT method is adopted to evaluate the accuracy and uncertainty of the identified dynamic modal parameters by investigating the vibration video data extracted from different monitoring points in the tested structure. The results from the proposed method show that the utilization of DIC technology and fast Bayesian FFT can accurately identify dynamic modal parameters of the test structure.
