Due to the complexity of the spatial surface of the twisted blade of the aero-engine, there are occlusions and shadows between the blades, resulting in visual blind spots. This causes the loss of certain information in the deformation measurement of twisted blade. A deformation measurement method of rotating twisted blades based on multi-vision overlapping area feature registration is proposed. It aims to solve the problem of limited field of view (FOV) in the deformation measurement of twisted blade, and overcome the problems of small measurement range and difficult measurement of traditional contact sensor method in the rotating state of the blade. First, a calibration and image-matching method based on multi-vision digital image correlation method is proposed. Under the premise of ensuring the simultaneous calibration of multi-vision camera stereo calibration, the matching of image detection points on the twisted blade surface is realized. Second, a three-dimensional reconstruction method based on the feature registration of the overlapping area of the FOV is proposed. It is used to solve the problem that the traditional image stitching method is prone to mismatching and to provide complete point cloud information for the deformation field calculation. Finally, the strain of each point is solved by piecewise point-by-point fitting of the local subdomains of the discrete displacement data, which suppresses the amplification of noise and improves the accuracy of blade strain calculation. In this paper, the deformation measurement experiment is carried out for the rotating twisted blade (up to 6000 rpm). The experimental results show that the proposed method can achieve a displacement measurement accuracy of 5 μm and the strain measurement accuracy of 50 με. This method can provide an important guarantee for the accurate evaluation and safe operation of the key performance parameters of the engine.
