Method for inspecting an object

A method for inspecting an object, the method comprising:

• determining a first inspection package that includes a first inspection image of the object and a first designation, wherein the first inspection image includes one or more first inspection image pixel arrays including a location of the one or more first inspection image pixel arrays;
• determining data indicative of a second inspection package that includes a second inspection image of the object and a second designation, wherein the second inspection image includes one or more second inspection image pixel arrays including a location of the one or more second inspection image pixel arrays, wherein the second inspection image is different than the first inspection image;
• determining a first orientation of the object relative to an optical sensor for the first inspection image and determining a second orientation of the object relative to the optical sensor for the second inspection image;
• determining a first property map for the first inspection image based on the first orientation and a second property map for the second inspection image based on the second orientation, wherein, in determining the first property map, only the location of the one or more first inspection image pixel arrays and the orientation of the object in the inspection image are used from the first inspection image, and, wherein, in determining the second property map, only the location of the one or more second inspection image pixel arrays and the orientation of the object in the second inspection image are used from the second inspection image;
• receiving, recalling, or both, the first property map and the second property map;
• determining a first property of the object based on the first property map and the first designation, wherein the first property is associated with the first inspection image, wherein the first property is a first distance which is calculated, estimated, or measured from a first adjacent pixel of the first inspection image pixel array to a second adjacent pixel of the first inspection image array, wherein the distance is determined by making a straight line from a middle of a side or a corner of the first adjacent pixel, through the first adjacent pixel, and to a middle of a side of a corner of the second adjacent pixel;
• determining a second property of the object based on the second property map and the second designation, wherein the second property is associated with the second inspection image, wherein in the second property is a second distance is calculated, estimated, or measured from a first adjacent pixel of the second inspection image pixel array to a second adjacent pixel of the second inspection image array, wherein the distance is determined by making a straight line from a middle of a side or a corner of the second adjacent pixel, through the second adjacent pixel, and to a middle of a side of a corner of the second adjacent pixel;
• aligning the first property map with the second property map by aligning the location of the one or more first inspection image pixel arrays with the location of the one or more second inspection image pixel arrays;
• comparing the first property with the second property;
• displaying the comparison;
• determining damage to the object between the first distance and the second distance;
• and
• determining a maintenance action based on the comparison, including predicting when the damage will exceed an operational limit.
