Embodiment Construction

[0041] It is often difficult for an inspector of complex machinery to obtain a complete and unobstructed view of certain portions of the machinery. It is often desirable to view multiple parts of the machine simultaneously. It is well known that changes or modifications at the environment of a machine or machine part can affect the machine elsewhere at parts not directly visible to an inspector at one location.

[0042] It is also desirable in some situations to place the visual current condition of the machine during the inspection in the context of the previous conditions recorded during the earlier inspection.

[0043] In a separate and co-pending patent application commonly owned by the same assignee, a side-by-side inspection system is described to give situational awareness in complex visual inspections. In such a system utilizing a side-by-side approach, the user works in front of a (desktop or laptop) PC to which all cameras and probe controllers are connected. In one ...

Abstract

Systems and methods for inspecting a device are disclosed. The method includes arranging the device in a known position relative to a plurality of movable cameras. The plurality of movable cameras is mounted on a controllable actuator. The plurality of cameras is pointed at the device by controlling the controllable actuator to position the camera with a user interface. An image of the device generated by the camera is displayed on a mobile and wireless display. The computing device also causes a rendered virtual image of the device to be displayed on the mobile and wireless display. A stream of interest and a region of interest is selected at the mobile and wireless display from the images generated by the cameras.

Description

[0001] Statement of relevant circumstances [0002] This application claims priority and benefit to US Provisional Patent Application Serial No. 61 / 537,642, filed September 22, 2011, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. technical field [0003] The present invention relates to inspection systems and methods using cameras and computing devices. More specifically, the present invention relates to systems and methods for inspecting turbines. Background technique [0004] For industrial equipment and equipment, computerized inspections from camera images provide very accurate information. However, if the object being inspected is complex (eg, a modern gas turbine), inspection becomes difficult when multiple cameras and multiple configurations of cameras are involved. Data relating to the equipment being inspected is usually stored in a database. Sometimes multiple cameras record images of different parts of the equipment, which must be processed by a pr...
