ABSTRACT:
An inspection machine for inspecting the circumference of a vertically standing container comprising means for conveying a vertically standing container through an inspection location including means for directing a beam of collimated light vertically downwardly towards the container, the beam having a configuration selected so that when the container is located at the inspection location the periphery of the beam will be spaced from the circumference of the container, two dimensional camera means for axially viewing the profile of the vertical projection of a container at the inspection location, and image processing means for evaluating the circumference of the profile viewed by the two dimensional camera and accepting or rejecting the container including means for defining the center of the acquired image, and means for remapping the perimeter of the acquired image into at least one two-dimensional rectangular area bisected by an imaginary line representing the perimeter of an ideal container in vertical projection.
