High-Resolution Structure-from-Motion for Quantitative Measurement of Leading-Edge Roughness

Over time, erosion of the leading edge of wind turbine blades increases the leading-edge roughness (LER). This may reduce the aerodynamic performance of the blade and hence the annual energy production of the wind turbine. As early detection is key for cost-effective maintenance, inspection methods...
