Patent number: 11403748Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for articulating visual inspection devices are provided. For example, a method can include receiving an inspection template by a control system associated with the visual inspection device. The inspection template can include data associated with at least one point of interest in a scene viewable to the visual inspection device. The method can further include generating, by the control system, an articulation path based on the data. The method can also include actuating an electro-mechanical system of the visual inspection device according to the articulation path.Type: GrantFiled: April 12, 2019Date of Patent: August 2, 2022Assignee: BAKER HUGHES, A GE COMPANY, LLCInventors: Nicholas Anthony Stancato, Melissa Rose Stancato, Kevin Andrew Coombs, Joseph John Waclawski, James J. Delmonico, Bryan David Maule, Dennis Lavin, Matthew William Pankow

Patent number: 10359620Abstract: Systems and methods provided herein. In one embodiment, a borescope system includes a probe to capture images and a display a settings menu, measurements, the images captured by the probe, or any combination thereof. In addition, the borescope system a processor programmed to display a user interface to enable a user to control movement of the probe, adjust settings, navigate menus, make selections, or any combination thereof. The processor is communicatively coupled to the probe, and the display, and is programmed to instruct the borescope to enter a live menu view when an articulation mode is selected from the settings menu. In the live menu view, the processor is programmed to instruct the display to display the images captured by the probe, and to enable a user to control the movement of the probe and adjust articulation sensitivity of the probe while viewing the images on the display.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2016Date of Patent: July 23, 2019Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Thomas Charles Ward, Bryan David Maule, Melissa Rose Stancato, Matthew William Pankow, David Scott Andreasen
