SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR OPTICAL FIBER BASED IMAGE ACQUISITION SUITABLE FOR USE IN TURBINE ENGINES

摘要

A system and a method for image acquisition suitable for use in a turbine engine are disclosed. Light (I) received from a field of view in an object plane (Po) is projected onto an image plane (Pi) through an optical modulation device (102) and is transferred through an image conduit (104) to a sensor array (106). The sensor array generates a set of sampled image signals in a sensing basis based on light received from the image conduit. Finally, the sampled image signals are transformed from the sensing basis to a representation basis and a set of estimated image signals are generated therefrom. The estimated image signals are used for reconstructing an image and/or a motion-video of a region of interest within a turbine engine.
