Abstract:
An imaging system for a rotatable object includes an imaging unit configured to take a series of images of a portion of the rotatable object and a light source. The light source is directed at the rotatable object and is configured to generate pulses of light that illuminate the rotatable object during rotation of the rotatable object and allow the imaging unit to take the series of images of the rotatable object. The system also includes a synchronizer that monitors the rotational position of the rotatable object as it rotates, and a controller in communication with the imaging unit, the light source, and the synchronizer. The controller controls the operation of the imaging unit and/or the light source based upon the rotational position of the rotatable object such that each of the series of images is taken at the same rotational position of the rotatable object.

Claim (Index 28):
A method of imaging a rotating object comprising:\n rotating an object about and axis; monitoring the rotational position of the object as it rotates; pulsing a light source to illuminate at least a portion of the rotating object; taking a first image of the at least a portion of the rotating object as the rotating object rotates, the first image being taken at a first rotational position of the rotating object and when the at least a portion of the rotating object is illuminated by the light source; taking a second image of the at least a portion of rotating object as the rotating object, the second image being taken at a second rotational position and when the at least a portion of the rotating object is illuminated by the light source; and analyzing the first and second images to determine at least one characteristic of the rotating object.
