1. A method for on-line optical operational monitoring of an industrial gas turbine combustion section, comprising:

  • coupling a man way cover having an optical window to a combustion section service man way;

    directing the field of view (FOV) of an optical camera located outside the man way cover through the optical window, so that the FOV is capable of capturing images of areas of interest within the combustion section;

    moving the camera FOV to plural positions within the combustion section and capturing respective images at each position; and

    combining the respective captured images in a composite imageremote vibration monitoring of the areas of interest by monitoring relative motion of the areas of interest and correlating the motion with vibrational frequency.
