Patent Images

1. A method comprising:

  • acquiring a surface image from a surface of a component;

    providing an image registration for the surface image to determine the component type;

    inspecting the component in response to the image registration to produce an input data set;

    creating an output data set in response to the input data set utilizing a fuzzy logic algorithm; and

    identifying a surface feature in response to the surface image and the output data set;

    wherein the method is performed using a computer or processor;

    wherein inspecting the component further includes operating a part manipulator structured to position the component in response to the image registration and a positioning algorithm;

    wherein the positioning algorithm is determined based on the image registration.
