ABSTRACT:
A method of detecting an opaque foreign article from among transparent bodies which assures a distinct difference between detection signals originating from a transparent body and an opaque foreign article and a high S/N ratio in such detection signals and is improved in accuracy in detecting operation. The method comprises the steps of scanning, while an object for the detection which may be one of transparent bodies or an opaque foreign article existing in such transparent bodies is being moved, the object for the detection by a beam of linearly polarized light, and detecting reflected light from the object for the detection upon each scanning using an optical sensor such as a charge coupled device camera by way of a polarizing filter.
