Abstract: A computer-implemented method comprising: receiving data comprising two-dimensional data and three-dimensional data of a component of an engine; identifying a feature of the component using the two-dimensional data;

Abstract: Method and apparatus for classifying defect in component having a monocrystalline structure. The method includes: illuminating surface of component containing defect with beam of light from plurality of different spherical directions; each illumination direction, measuring intensity of light reflected by surface and received by detector; determining contrast value between region with higher intensity and a region with lower intensity for each illumination direction; analyzing contrast values by performing tests selected from the following: (a) determining whether region with higher intensity exceeds predetermined width; (b) identifying illumination direction which produces maximum contrast value, and determining whether illumination direction falls outside of predetermined region; (c) identifying peak in contrast values and determining whether peak extends over range of illumination directions which exceeds predetermined threshold; and (d) determining whether contrast values contain plurality of discontinuous peaks; and determining type of defect based on of tests.

Abstract: A method comprising: inspecting an engine during a first period of time to identify damage, the engine being associated with an aircraft; receiving three-dimensional data of one or more components of the engine, the three-dimensional data being generated during the first period of time; determining, during the first period of time, whether the identified damage exceeds a threshold; providing instructions to release the aircraft for operation in a second period of time, subsequent to the first period of time, if the identified damage does not exceed the threshold; and inspecting the received three-dimensional data during the second period of time to measure damage.

Abstract: An apparatus for inspecting a turbomachine includes a plurality of horoscopes, a device to rotate the rotor of the turbomachine and a processor having reference measurements of the rotor blades and/or reference measurements between the rotor blades and the horoscopes. A boroscope is inserted in a casing aperture upstream of the blades to view the leading edge and a portion of one of the surfaces of each blade as the rotor is rotated. A boroscope is inserted in a casing aperture downstream of the blades to view the trailing edge and a portion of one of the surfaces of each blade as the rotor is rotated. The boroscopes supply the images of each of the blades to the processor. The processor analyzes the images of the blades and uses the reference measurements to determine the position and size of any defect on any of the rotor blades.

Abstract: A method of monitoring turbine blade creep in a gas turbine engine is provided. The method includes: receiving stereo images of a turbine blade of a row of turbine blades, the images having been obtained using a stereo borescope located in the engine adjacent the row of turbine blades; identifying same features of the blade in each of the stereo images; mapping each of the identified features by triangulation onto a 3D space to produce a 3D depth map of at least part of the blade; providing a 3D reference model of the blade; and comparing the 3D reference model with the 3D depth map to measure one or more deviations in shape of the blade to determine an amount of creep-induced distortion of the blade.
