Abstract: A method of servicing a portion of a gas turbine engine includes inserting a rigid guide tube into an inspection port in a shroud of the gas turbine engine. The flexible guide tube is inserted into and through the rigid guide tube. The flexible guide tube is pre-shaped such that the flexible guide tube is biased towards a predetermined shape after being inserted through the rigid guide tube. A tool is pushed through the flexible guide tube such that the distal end of the tool moves out of and away from an end of the flexible guide tube. An area of interest of the gas turbine engine is then serviced with the tool.

Abstract: An inspection system is provided. The inspection system includes a light source and a surface profile compensator. The light source illuminates a contoured surface of a part. The surface profile compensator causes light emitted from the light source to be distributed over an inspection area of the contoured surface according to a target light distribution.

Abstract: An apparatus for servicing internal components of an aircraft engine includes a flexible hollow tube; a latching mechanism connected to or incorporated with the flexible hollow tube; and a servicing device to be inserted through the flexible hollow tube. The servicing device is freely moveable through the flexible hollow tube and decoupled from the latching mechanism. The flexible hollow tube is shaped and configured so as to enable proximate positioning of the flexible hollow tube with respect to a rotatable component of an aircraft engine allowing attachment of the flexible hollow tube to the rotatable component via the latching mechanism after the flexible hollow tube is inserted through an entry port of the aircraft engine.

Abstract: An inspection system and related methods are provided. The inspection system includes an inspection camera, a plurality of light sources collocated with the inspection camera, and a post processing system. The plurality of light sources output directional light that have different respective ranges of light wavelengths. The inspection camera is configured to capture image data while a surface of interest is being illuminated with the directional light. Further, the post processing system is configured to receive the image data, process portions of the image data into a plurality of images that include distinct images corresponding to the different respective ranges of light wavelengths. The plurality of images can be reviewed to identify an abnormal region of the surface of interest.

Abstract: There are provided methods and systems for assessing the health of an asset. For example, a system is provided. The system may include a processor and a memory including instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations consistent with identifying a defect in a component of an asset. The operations may include fetching from an inspection system, a plurality of images acquired from an inspection of the component of the asset by the inspection system. The operations may include identifying, based on an image processing technique codified and included as part of the instructions, a subset of images from the plurality of images. The subset of images is representative of the defect in the component of the asset, and the image processing technique is selected from the group consisting of an auto-distress ranking technique, a structural similarity technique, a mean-subtracted filtering technique, and a Hessian norm computation technique.

Abstract: A system may include an image sensor. A system may include an actuator configured to cause a controlled movement of the image sensor relative to a target element, the controlled movement being based on an operating velocity of the target element relative to an initial position of the image sensor. A system may include a controller communicatively coupled to the image sensor, the controller configured to: identify the operating velocity, determine an activation time to activate the image sensor for a designated exposure time based on the operating velocity and the controlled movement; and activate the image sensor at the activation time.

Abstract: A pulse illumination imaging system is provided. The system includes an image sensor, a light source, and a controller. The image sensor includes a plurality of light sensitive pixel elements that are activatable for a designated exposure time to capture one or more images. The controller is configured to determine an activation time to activate the image sensor based on motion of a target element relative to the image sensor; activate the image sensor at the activation time; and activate the light source during the exposure time of the image sensor to produce a pulse having a preconfigured time duration that is less than the exposure time of the image sensor.

Abstract: An inspection system and related methods that employ directional light for enhanced imaging are provided. The inspection system includes an inspection camera and at least one directional light source positionable in an offset position from a field of view of the inspection camera. The at least one directional light source is configured to emit directional light from the offset position into the field of view of the inspection camera so as to produce shadows on a surface of interest. Further, the inspection system includes a display device coupled to the inspection camera and the inspection camera is configured to capture one or more images of the shadows produced on the surface of interest. The display device is configured to receive and display the one or more images.

Abstract: A system and method of using a tool assembly is provided. The system includes a body, a first camera and a second camera fixed to the body, and a controller. The controller is configured to receive data indicative of images of a reference feature from the first camera, determine data indicative of a first spatial position of the first camera based at least in part on the received data indicative of the images of the reference feature, and determine data indicative of a second spatial position of the second camera based on the first spatial position, a known spatial relationship between the first location and the second location, or both. Further, the controller may be configured to receive data indicative of images of a target feature using the second camera, derive dimensions of the target feature based on the images, and generate a three-dimensional representation of the target feature.
