Abstract:
A method and apparatus for inspecting utility scale wind turbine generator blades from the ground includes a digital camera and an adjustable polarizing filter on a stable platform. The camera is used to record multiple digital images with varying polarization angles using an artificial polarized or polarized solar illumination to produce images with the same or similar registration but different polarization angles, followed by image processing using subtraction or absolute difference routines to yield high resolution, high contrast images with reduced glare and excellent surface definition over the field of view.

Claim (Index 3):
The method of  claim 2 , further comprising:\n defining, in the image processing computer, a calibration feature in the final image, the calibration feature being an object of known dimension; measuring, by the image processing computer, the calibration feature in the image by number of pixels; and determining, by the image processing computer, an image scale in units of pixels/unit distance, wherein the quantitative measurement of the one or more anomalies is obtained using the image scale.
