    Abstract: A measurement system (301) for determining surface roughness is shown. A coherent illumination device (303) illuminates the surface of, for example, a component (201) with coherent light. An imaging device (304) obtains an image of speckle caused by the scattering of the coherent light from the surface. A processing device (305) converts the image into a binary image according to a threshold, thereby classifying pixels below the threshold as background pixels and pixels above the threshold as foreground pixels. It then evaluates the fractal dimension of the binary image. The fractal dimension correlates with surface roughness. An indication of the surface roughness of the surface is then outputted.

    Abstract: There is described an inspection device for inspecting a slot of a gas turbine engine. The inspection device comprises: an insert for insertion into the slot; a plurality of imaging devices coupled to the insert; and a processor. The insert is movable along a longitudinal axis of the slot. Each of the plurality of imaging devices is positioned adjacent an external surface of the insert and is configured to capture an image of a portion of the slot adjacent the imaging device. The processor is configured to receive data corresponding to the images captured by the plurality of imaging devices. There is also described a method of inspecting a slot using the inspection device.

    Abstract: A measurement system (301) for determining surface roughness is shown. A coherent illumination device (303) illuminates the surface of, for example, a component (201) with coherent light. An imaging device (304) obtains an image of speckle caused by the scattering of the coherent light from the surface. A processing device (305) converts the image into a binary image according to a threshold, thereby classifying pixels below the threshold as background pixels and pixels above the threshold as foreground pixels. One or more regions of connected foreground pixels are then identified in the binary image, in which any two foreground pixels in a region are joined by a continuous path of foreground pixels. The total number of regions identified and the number of pixels in the largest region are then evaluated, each of which correlate with surface roughness. An indication of the surface roughness of the surface is then outputted.
