Assignee: BAKER HUGHES HOLDINGS LLC
Field: Measurement (Instruments)
Classification: CPC G  A | IPC G

Claim 7:
8. A borescope system comprising
an image sensor, a display, a plurality of actuators mechanically coupled to the image sensor, a directional input device, a processor, and a memory storing computer-readable executable instructions, wherein the plurality of actuators move the image sensor based on received actuator drive signals and the processor is configured to execute the instructions causing the processor to perform operations including
receiving image data characterizing a viewed object acquired via the image sensor;
providing the image data via the display;
receiving a first directional movement input via the directional input device;
applying a first set of actuator drive signals to the plurality of actuators, causing the image sensor to move in a first real direction and causing points on the viewed object to move in a first visual direction on the display, wherein the first visual direction is in the direction of the first directional movement input;
applying, by a user, a coordinate transformation to the image data to generate transformed image data;
displaying the transformed image data on the display;
receiving a second directional movement input via the directional input device; and
applying a second set of actuator drive signals to the plurality of actuators to, causing the image sensor to move in the first real direction and causing points on the viewed object to move in a second visual direction on the display, wherein the second visual direction is in the direction of the second directional movement input.
