Abstract
Present embodiments pertain to systems, apparatuses, and methods for analyzing and reporting rotational or reciprocating movements and speed of rotation or reciprocation in mechanical structures, machines, and machine components, through the use of an acquired video recording representing a plurality of cycles of motion, by measuring intensity values of a subset of pixels contained in a region of interest within the video recording in a plurality of frames of the video recording, thereby calculating a speed of rotation or reciprocation of the structure, machine or machine component.
