Abstract
A method for monitoring a rotor assembly of a wind turbine includes receiving, via an imaging analytics module of a controller, thermal imaging data of the rotor assembly that includes a plurality of image frames. The method includes automatically identifying, via a first machine learning model of the imaging analytics module, a plurality of sections of a rotor blade of the rotor assembly within the plurality of image frames until all sections of the rotor blade are identified. Further, the method includes selecting, via a function of the imaging analytics module, a subset of image frames from the plurality of image frames, the subset of image frames comprising a minimum number of the plurality of image frames required to represent all sections of the rotor blade. Moreover, the method includes generating, via a visualization module of the controller, an image of the rotor assembly using the subset of image frames.
