This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18238065 titled 'OPTICAL IN-SITU INSPECTION 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 video 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; determining, by the processor, a rotational speed of a fan; and determining, by the processor, a fan synchronization.
