Claim One:
1. A method for inspecting an installed component comprising: receiving an identity and selected location of the installed component as an input signal via a handheld inspection device having a controller, a digital camera, and a display screen; collecting a dynamic pixel image of the selected location in real-time using the digital camera; displaying the collected dynamic pixel image in real time via the display screen; projecting a set of virtual acquisition guidance lines onto the displayed dynamic pixel image via the controller, wherein the projected acquisition guidance lines correspond to edges of the installed component within the selected location; identifying the installed component in the selected location via the controller when the displayed dynamic pixel image is aligned with the projected acquisition lines; identifying a predetermined area of the installed component via the controller after identifying the installed component; measuring, via the controller using image processing instructions, a predetermined feature dimension of the installed component within the identified predetermined area; and generating an output signal via the processor with a status that is indicative of whether the measured feature dimension falls within a calibrated range.
