Abstract

A video monitoring method and system for a blade of a wind turbine are provided. The method includes: calculating a pan value and a tilt value based on each of a plurality of circular arc angles when the blade of the wind turbine is in a stationary state, wherein the plurality of circular arc angles are set based on a circular arc curve on a rotational plane of the blade, which is formed with a first point as a center and a first distance as a radius; and setting the pan value and the tilt value of a video camera to the calculated pan value and tilt value, respectively, to capture the blade.
