Abstract
An optical imaging and processing system includes an optical element and a processor configured to process the plurality of image frames to generate a three-dimensional model of at least a portion of the turbine component interior. The system may also include a display coupled to the processor to display the three-dimensional model. An operator may view and analyze the three-dimensional model on the display for defects. The processor may further be configured to automatically navigate the three-dimensional model to determine defects within the turbine component interior. The system may also include a repositioning device configured to reposition the optical element such that the optical element may capture the plurality of image frames from multiple vantage points within the turbine component interior.
