Description
The Motion Magnification has recently been introduced for the characterization of motions present in common digital videos, gaining significant theoretical and practical interest. This application is made feasible and cost-effective by the confinement of the dynamic response to the low frequencies, which allows for the use of low-cost cameras and simplified processing of the acquired data. In this work, we present case studies collected over the last ten years, primarily concerning cultural heritage and infrastructural works, highlighting the advantages and associated challenges. We also present the substantial peculiarities of the analysis of cultural heritage assets, compared to the monitoring of civil structures, are the extreme fragility, which necessitates further restrictions on video surveying methodologies, the camera vibrations, the larger pixel-per-meter ratio, the unavoidable environmental disturbances, the changing lighting conditions a high signal-to-noise ratio.
