Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a control system for a wind turbine that is configured to: obtain a 3-dimensional image of at least a portion of a wind turbine blade; recognise a target feature of the wind turbine blade in the obtained image and identify the position of the target feature; and monitor the state of the wind turbine blade and/or control operation of at least one blade in dependence on the identified position of the feature.
