Abstract
A method for predicting an incoming rotational balance of an unfinished workpiece includes obtaining image data of the unfinished workpiece, generating a virtual representation of the unfinished workpiece based on the image data, segmenting the virtual representation into one or more target meshes, determining one or more parameters of the one or more target meshes, where the one or more parameters comprise a volume, a center of gravity, or a combination thereof, and determining a balance metric of the unfinished workpiece based on the one or more parameters and a balance prediction model.
