This thesis presents a method for reconstructing sound from the vibrations of a music box comb recorded with a high-speed camera. The vibrations were analyzed using the pyIDI library and the directional Lucas-Kanade method algorithm, with the measured displacements converted into an audio signal. The results will point out benefits and limitations of the method and suggest usefulness within the wider scope of optical approaches to non-invasive sound recovery, experimental mechanics, and diagnostic practices in machines.
