ABSTRACT:
In its simplest sense, the present invnetion contemplates a method and apparatus for determining a characteristic or property of randomly oriented, irregularly shaped objects by obtaining an image profile of the object, selecting a plurality of edge points from the image profile and obtaining therefrom a parameter related to the characteristic or property of the object. Having determined the characteristic or property of the objects analyzed, they can be treated appropriately, for example, sorted and the like.
