Abstract

A system includes one or more processors configured to detect perimeter edges of one or more rotor blades of a turbine assembly as depicted in a series of image frames using boundary analysis performed on the image frames. The one or more processors are configured to identify a set of the image frames as key frames based on positional offsets between the perimeter edges that are detected in the image frames and a reference blade pose such that the key frames are able to be inspected for objects-of-interest without inspecting the image frames that are not the key frames.
