Flash thermography photobox

A system for automated condition assessment of a turbine component, comprising:

• a partially enclosed photobox, comprising:
• a configurable rotational table adapted to carry the turbine component;
• at least one wall, the at least one wall essentially perpendicular to and abutting a horizontal platform upon which the rotational table is carried;
• a plurality of cameras configured to be automatically positioned at locations surrounding the turbine component and capture a plurality of images of the turbine component;
• and
• a controller communicating with each of the plurality of cameras to respectively control the positioning of each camera in order to capture an image of a desired view of the turbine component;
• a calibration target disposed on the at least one wall, wherein the calibration target comprises a photographable target,
• wherein at least one of the plurality of cameras is an infrared camera configured to perform flash thermography capturing a thermographic image of a portion of the turbine component,
• wherein the thermographic image is used by the controller to assess the condition of the turbine component, and
• wherein a visible light camera of the plurality of cameras captures images of the calibration target prior to capturing an image of the turbine component in order to create a three dimensional model of the turbine component.
