Abstract
Abstract Simple and reliable methods for displacement measurements are needed in the areas of sensing, monitoring and actuation. The common methods to measure displacements suffer from issues such as high cost, need for installation space, precise alignment and disturbances in continuous measurements. This paper presents a simple method utilizing a smartphone camera as the primary video capturing device with Matlab to track and measure the deflection of an actuator. The method is validated with known measurements using a microscope micrometer. Further, this paper demonstrates usage of the developed method for measuring the deflection of an actuator based on poly (3,4-ethylene dioxythiophene) polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT: PSS) with a least count of 29 microns.
期刊介绍：
Instrumentation Science & Technology is an internationally acclaimed forum for fast publication of critical, peer reviewed manuscripts dealing with innovative instrument design and applications in chemistry, physics biotechnology and environmental science. Particular attention is given to state-of-the-art developments and their rapid communication to the scientific community.
Emphasis is on modern instrumental concepts, though not exclusively, including detectors, sensors, data acquisition and processing, instrument control, chromatography, electrochemistry, spectroscopy of all types, electrophoresis, radiometry, relaxation methods, thermal analysis, physical property measurements, surface physics, membrane technology, microcomputer design, chip-based processes, and more.
Readership includes everyone who uses instrumental techniques to conduct their research and development. They are chemists (organic, inorganic, physical, analytical, nuclear, quality control) biochemists, biotechnologists, engineers, and physicists in all of the instrumental disciplines mentioned above, in both the laboratory and chemical production environments. The journal is an important resource of instrument design and applications data.
