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: 用于物品外观的自动检查的系统包括多个摄像机（32）。 这些摄像机（32）中的一个或多个是黑色和白色的，而至少一个是有色的。 用于照亮设置在所有照相机（32）聚焦到的样本区域（24）中的样本（22）的闪光灯。 闪光灯允许每个相机（32）捕获样本（22）的静止图像。黑白相机（32）捕获允许确定外部布局是否可接受的图像。 彩色相机或相机（30）捕获允许确定样品（22）的着色是否可接受的图像。 基于这些获取的图像，选择性地拒绝样本（22）。 该系统在饮料容器（22）及其相关标签的检查中特别有用。
