1. A system comprising:

  • a component manipulator structured to position a component in response to a positioning algorithm;

    a surface scanner configured to;

    output electromagnetic radiation directed at a surface of the component,detect reflected electromagnetic radiation from the surface of the component, andproduce a reflectivity signal in response to detecting the reflected electromagnetic radiation; and

    a processor configured to;

    apply a fuzzy logic algorithm to the reflectivity signal to determine a solution set in response to the reflectivity signal; and

    produce a grain structure characterization in response to the solution set.
