Abstract
A method for borescope inspection of a component uses a stereo borescope for recording the component. The method includes: generating two stereoscopic partial images by means of the stereo borescope; calculating 3D triangulation data from the two stereoscopic partial images; registering the 3D triangulation data to a 3D CAD reference model of the component captured by the stereo borescope, while determining a projection point; projecting 2D image data determined from the two stereoscopic partial images onto the 3D CAD reference model from the determined projection point; and determining damage by image analysis of the projected 2D image data and by ascertaining deviations of the registered 3D triangulation data vis-à-vis the 3D CAD reference model.
