The proposed technique uses semi-supervised video segmentation to separate dynamic objects of interest from others, extract and track features only for the object, and perform 3D reconstruction. Reconstructing these 3D point clouds in the camera space makes it possible to measure the 3D shape and displacement of a dynamic object. The method was validated on a video of a rotating fan blade, and the average relative absolute error of the position estimation was 0.0011, indicating sufficiently high accuracy.
