APPARATUS AND METHOD USING A LINEAR ARRAY OF OPTICAL SENSORS FOR IMAGING A ROTATING COMPONENT OF A GAS TURBINE ENGINE

摘要

Apparatus and method using a linear array (22) of optical sensors (24) for imaging a rotating component (12) of a gas turbine engine. A viewing probe (16) may include the linear array of optical sensors disposed in the probe to acquire image data that may be made up of a series of line scans capturing views of the component passing within a field of view of the probe. A controller (26) may be electrically coupled to the linear array to process the series of line scans to generate an image of the component.

1. A gas turbine engine comprising:
at least one rotating component; a viewing probe comprising a linear array of optical sensors disposed in the probe to acquire image data comprising a series of line scans capturing views of said at least one rotating component as the rotating component passes within a field of view of the probe; and a controller electrically coupled to the linear array to process the series of line scans to generate an image of the component.
