Method for automatic identification of defects in turbine engine blades

A system for automatically identifying geometric defects in turbine engine blades comprising:

• a feature segmentation component configured to identify one or more regions of interest in one or more radiographic images corresponding to one or more turbine engine blades;
• a feature identification component configured to extract one or more geometric features of the turbine engine blade located in the one or more regions of interest;
• and
• a defect identification component configured to analyze the one or more geometric features to identify one or more geometric defects present in the one or more geometric features of the turbine engine blades, wherein said analysis is not dependent on statistical parameters or reference image.
