Abstract

Correct, serviceable and high-quality operation of a turbomachine directly depends on the condition of its flow path. One of the reasons for the decrease in the efficiency and reliability of the turbine unit is the wear of the blade apparatus due to the formation of various defects on the edges and surface of the blade airfoil. This study develops an approach to automating the defect detection process of products using modern computer vision technologies. In this work, a program code was prepared in the Python programming language, a database of images of blade defects was created, and the YOLOv8 model was trained and tested. The achieved accuracy in determining the type of defect in the study exceeded 80%.
