A vibrometric signature for a vehicle, or a set of one or more frequencies where vibration of the vehicle is naturally observed in the presence of excitation, may be generated and used to make one or more determinations regarding the integrity or suitability of the vehicle for one or more missions. When the vehicle is subjected to excitation over a range of frequencies, images of the vehicle are captured, and power levels of vibrations of the vehicle are calculated based on the images. A vibrometric signature is generated based on the power levels of the vibrations, and compared to vibrometric signatures previously generated for the aerial vehicle, or to vibrometric signatures associated with one or more other vehicles, or anomalies experienced by such other vehicles, to determine whether the vehicle may be cleared for the performance of one or more missions, or whether maintenance or inspections are required.
