Abstract
A rotating wind turbine blade optical inspection devices and systems. The system for inspection, having: a camera; a rotatable device designed to controllably rotate camera along axis, not camera's lens axis of rotational symmetry; a laser distance sensor or a dynamic vision sensor and a computer system; the camera, the rotatable device and the laser distance sensor or the dynamic vision sensor operably connected with the computer system; wherein the camera is adapted to be mounted on the rotatable device; the distance or the vision sensors' optical axis is directed at a set distance from the camera's optical axis; wherein the computer system: (i) to receives a signal from the distance or vision sensors; (ii) to determines camera's activation time based on the signal from the distance sensor or vision sensors and a pre-set adjustable delay time; (iii) to activate the camera acquiring an image of a blade area inspected.
