Research continued on the development of a surface profiling system for the inspection of turbine blades. The systems is a Numerical Stereo Camera System (NSCS). The NSCS is a high-speed 3-D topographical surface mapping system that projects a structured pattern laser light onto the surface of a target object, views the projected pattern with an axis video camera, and calculates the 3-D profile of the surface from that apparent distortion in the pattern as it appears on target surface
