What is Motion Amplification?
“You can visualise the motion together with measuring and quantifying any structural assets that a camera can see. Simply put, it’s ODS within seconds!”

How Does it Work?
RDI’s patented technology measures deflection, displacement, movement and vibration not visible to the human eye. RDI utilises video camera technology in conjunction with proprietary software and processing algorithms to extract meaningful data. This technology turns every pixel in the camera’s view into a sensor capable of measuring video vibration analysis or motion with high levels of accuracy.
You can visualise the motion together with measuring and quantifying any structural assets that a camera can see. Motion Amplification is a proprietary video processing algorithm that detects subtle motion then amplifies that motion to a level visible with the naked eye which enhances the understanding of the components and interrelationships creating the motion.
Why is Visualisation So Important?
Imagine what you could do by visualising faults in machinery, infrastructure, and human performance. You can look at numbers and analysis from tools like accelerometers, strain gauges and modelling software and still not be able to visualise what the problem is. Being able to see what is happening can change your perspective completely along with allowing more targeted and cost effective approach to fault analysis. There are tools to magnify an image or to offer point measurements on a machine or piece of infrastructure, but no real way to see what is happening live and over the whole asset until now. RDI offers the first non-invasive, simple, and cost effective way to visualise what is happening beyond what you can see with your eye.
We aren’t guessing at the motion or adding in artifacts, you are seeing the true microscopic motions of any object in the field of view.
Pump Base Problem Visualisation
Finding the root cause
A great example showing the power of MA as a visualization tool. The pump shows poor base security. Vibration levels were 8mm/sec RMS.
