    Abstract: A positioning device (102) is presented. The positioning device (102) includes an articulation assembly (128) including a tubular structure (150) including an aperture at a distal end and a first connector (134, 504) on an outer surface. Also, the articulation assembly (128) includes a focus unit (136) disposed within the tubular structure (150) at the distal end. Further, the positioning device (102) includes a fixture including a channel (602) and a second connector (614) disposed on an inner surface of the channel (602), wherein the channel (602) is configured to receive the articulation assembly (128) and guide at least a portion of the articulation assembly (128) including the focus unit (136) to pass through the fixture, and wherein the second connector (614) is configured to inter-lock with the first connector (134) of the tubular structure (150) so as to position the focus unit (136) at a predetermined location.

    Abstract: There are provided methods and systems (500) for assessing the health of an asset (511). For example, a system (500) is provided. The system (500) may include a processor (514) and a memory (502) including instructions (518) that, when executed by the processor (514), cause the processor (514) to perform operations consistent with identifying a defect (513) in a component (501) of an asset (511). The operations may include fetching from an inspection system (503), a plurality of images (104) acquired from an inspection of the component (501) of the asset (511) by the inspection system (503). The operations may include identifying, based on an image processing technique codified and included as part of the instructions (518), a subset of images (110) from the plurality of images (104). The subset of images (110) is representative of the defect (513) in the component (501) of the asset (511), and the image processing technique is selected from the group consisting of an auto-distress ranking technique, a structural similarity technique, a mean-subtracted filtering technique, and a Hessian norm computation technique.
