Abstract: A system for automated inspection of article exteriors includes a plurality of video cameras (32). One or more of these video cameras (32) is black and white while at least one is color capable. A strobe light for illuminating a specimen (22) disposed in a specimen area (24) onto which all of the cameras (32) are focused. The strobe allows for each camera (32) to capture a still image of the specimen (22), The black and white cameras (32) capture images which allow determining whether the exterior layout is acceptable. The color camera or cameras (30) captures an image which allows determining whether the coloration of the specimen (22) is acceptable. Specimens (22) are selectively rejected on the basis of these acquired images. The system is particularly useful in inspection of beverage container (22) and their associated labelling.

Abstract translation: 用于物品外部的自动检查的系统包括多个摄像机（32）。 这些摄像机中的一个或多个（32）是黑色和白色，而至少有一个是彩色的。 一种闪光灯，用于照亮设置在所有照相机（32）聚焦在其上的标本区域（24）内的标本（22）。 闪光灯允许每个照相机（32）捕获样本（22）的静止图像。黑白照相机（32）捕获图像，该图像允许确定外部布局是否可接受。 彩色照相机（30）捕获图像，该图像允许确定样本（22）的着色是否可接受。 基于这些获取的图像选择性地拒绝标本（22）。 该系统在检查饮料容器（22）及其相关标签时特别有用。
