This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18238051 titled 'OPTICAL DEFECT DETECTION SYSTEM
Original Abstract Submitted
An in-situ system for a gas turbine engine blade inspection including a sensor system configured to capture images of a forward surface of at least one gas turbine engine blade; a processor coupled to the sensor system, the processor configured to determine damage to the at least one gas turbine engine blade based on image analytics; and a tangible, non-transitory memory configured to communicate with the processor, the tangible, non-transitory memory having instructions stored therein that, in response to execution by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising receiving, by the processor, data for the forward surface of at least one gas turbine engine blade from the sensor system; and determining, by the processor, surface damage responsive to the light source.
