Abstract
A method for determining geometric properties of a target shape such as a shape of a perimeter of a strut shield () for use in a gas turbine (). The method includes obtaining a digital image of at least a portion of a first object including a first feature () (). The image including the first feature () is displayed on a display device (). During a reconstruction process, one or more control points (A,B,C,D) are associated with feature points (A,B,C) along an extent of the displayed first feature () (). Using the associated one or more control points (A,B,C andD), a data file is created that corresponds to the first feature () (). The data file includes geometric properties of the feature points (A,B,C).
