Abstract: A stereo camera pair may be used to determine deformation and/or strain on a member based on differences in calculated movement of the cameras that capture images. In some embodiments, a first camera may be mounted to a first end of a member and a second camera may be mounted to a second end of the member opposite the first end. As the member bends, twists, or deforms in other ways, the deformation may be detectable based on differences in images captured by the first and second camera. This data may be used to detect possible wear or damage to the member, as a control input to a vehicle to reduce possible wear or damage to the member, as a prompt to initiate maintenance or inspection of the member, and/or for other reasons.
