Patent attributes
An aviation component inspection device includes a camera, a display, an input device, and a computer. The camera is configured to capture images of an aviation component under inspection. The computer is configured to receive an image from the camera, evaluate the image with one or more machine-learning aviation component-detection models. Each machine-learning aviation component-detection model is previously trained to output at least one confidence score indicating a confidence that a corresponding aviation component is present in the image. The computer is configured to present, via the display, a list of candidate aviation components based on corresponding confidence scores output by the one or more machine-learning aviation component-detection models, and add data previously-associated with a selected candidate aviation component from the list to a digital inspection report responsive to receiving user verification, via the input device, confirming the selected candidate aviation component is present in the image.
