An image which is determined by surface is captured and stored by sensing device. Subsequently, at a second image corresponding to a displacement of the surface is captured and stored. The two images are repeatedly compared at different offsets in a displacement direction. Theoretically, the most extreme value of the comparison will occur at the image offset that corresponds exactly with the actual displacement. However, typically none of the comparison offsets correspond exactly with the actual displacement, therefore interpolation between the comparison offsets is required. The method of comparing the images, as well as the method of interpolating to determining the image offset corresponding to the extreme value of the comparison can both contribute to systematic errors in estimating the displacement of the surface from the images. Herein, the systematic errors are rejected by correlation-based comparison systems and methods which reduce the curvature of the correlation function for offsets which bound the extreme value, and by interpolation systems and methods which are relatively insensitive to the asymmetry of the correlation function value points selected as the basis for the interpolation. These systems and methods allow fast, highly accurate, displacement determinations using relatively simplified calculations and relatively few correlation function value points. Thus, such a displacement measuring system can track high speed displacements with high accuracy. The systems and methods are especially suitable for measuring displacement of a surface using speckle images.

A slope monitoring and early warning system based on deformation data comprises a plurality of surface displacement devices and a communication base station. The surface displacement devices send collected data information to the communication base station, and data interaction is carried out between the communication base station and a far-end monitoring center.

Dangerousness states on a slope are judged according to slope stability coefficient indexes, and therefore dangerousness classification on the slope can have fixed indexes and standards. The slope monitoring and early warning method based on the deformation data is different from the existing displacement-time method that different slopes have different early warning displacement values.

A disk brake lathe has a pair of tool bits mounted to tool holders which are translatable parallel to a lathe axis to adjust the separation of the tool bits from a brake disk. A displacement gauge responds to changes in the separation between the tool holders. When the tool bits are in continuous contact with the disk, the separation indicates the thickness which would result from machining the disk. This separation can be compared to a specification to determine whether to machine or discard the disk. A method for machining a disk starts by mounting and aligning the lathe to a wheel hub on which the disk is mounted. The tool bits are each advanced until they are in continuous contact the disk surfaces, when the separation of the tool bits is measured and preferably compared to a specification. When the tool bits are sequentially advanced, variation in the separation can be used to determine depth of cut for each tool bit. A system employing a brake lathe has a microprocessor which receives signals responsive to the separation between the tool bits of the lathe. One or more contact sensors indicate contact of the tool bits with the other tool bit or the brake disk, and the microprocessor can implement instructions to practice the above method. A surface displacement gauge can be employed to allow the system to measure the thickness and lateral run-out of the disk prior to machining.
