SYSTEM FOR THE INSPECTION OF AIR DATA PROBES

A method of inspecting an air data (10) probe for damage or misalignment on a mounting surface includes retrieving reference data for the air data probe from a database, capturing images of the air data probe via a camera (30) and generating dimensions from the captured images of the air data probe...

Zusammenfassung:A method of inspecting an air data (10) probe for damage or misalignment on a mounting surface includes retrieving reference data for the air data probe from a database, capturing images of the air data probe via a camera (30) and generating dimensions from the captured images of the air data probe via a feature extractor (50). An alignment calculator (52) analyzes the generated dimensions from the captured images of the air data probe and the reference data for the air data probe from the database to identify misalignment of the air data probe, and analyzes the generated dimensions from the captured images of the air data probe and the reference data for the air data probe from the database to identify damage of the air data probe. A maintenance recommendation for the air data probe is generated and outputted, based on the identified misalignment or damage of the air data probe.
