IMAGE ACQUISITION, CORRELATION AND DETAILED VISUAL INSPECTION OF COMPONENT IN PERIODIC MOTION

Embodiments disclosed herein include, but are not limited to, methods for capturing video sampling data comprising a plurality of video images of a moving object, for example using one or more cameras positioned on a stationary frame of reference adjacent to the mechanical component under investigation, in which a change in motion of the moving object is correlated to an origin frame obtained from the sampling data and representing a point at which the change in motion first occurs.
