1. A system for monitoring a turbine component, the system comprising:

  • an enclosed electrical field scanner for analyzing an electrical field across a reference zone, the reference zone including a plurality of fiducials configured on an exterior turbine surface of the component to influence the electrical field, wherein each fiducial is formed on the exterior turbine surface, and wherein the electrical field scanner is removably disposed over the reference zone; and

    a processor in operable communication with the electrical field scanner, the processor operable for measuring an electrical field value along a mutually-orthogonal X-axis and Y-axis, and assembling a zone profile including a data point set according to the measured electrical field value.
