Publication number: 20240112319Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for an insulation system of a stator. In one example, a method may include receiving images of the stator at a processor of a computing system and processing the images by converting the images to one or more of cluster-only images and binary masks. The images may be fed to an artificial intelligence (AI) model to obtain one or more of varnish estimates and void estimates to generate a training dataset which may be used to train a deep learning tool to estimate varnish fill percentages from the images and display the varnish fill percentages at a display device.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 3, 2022Publication date: April 4, 2024Inventors: Robert Schroeter, Seth Avery, Chris Wolf, Jackson Lenz, Boratha Tan
