An inspection system for inspection of cased goods, the inspection system comprising: an inspection apparatus; at least one conveyor (110, 120) configured to advance the cased goods past the inspection apparatus, wherein the inspection apparatus comprises at least one camera (171, 172, 173) arranged to capture case image data of each of the cased goods advanced with the at least one conveyor past the inspection apparatus; and a processor operably coupled to the at least one conveyor, and communicably coupled to the at least one camera to receive the case image data from the at least one camera, wherein the inspection system is characterized in that the processor is configured to characterize, from the case image data, a case exterior protrusion (220, 1450, 1451, 1452, 1453, 1454) of the cased goods as a case flap (1300, 1300A, 1300B) in open condition, wherein the processor is configured to resolve the case image data and determine the case exterior protrusion is a coherent planar surface, and is programmed with a parameter array of physical characteristic parameters that describe case flap coherency attributes determinative of the coherent planar surface defining an open case flap condition, and wherein the processor is configured to generate from the case image data, for each coherent planar surface determined, a physical characteristic array and apply the parameter array to the physical characteristic array so as to resolve the coherent planar surface as being an open case flap. an inspection apparatus; at least one conveyor (110, 120) configured to advance the cased goods past the inspection apparatus, wherein the inspection apparatus comprises at least one camera (171, 172, 173) arranged to capture case image data of each of the cased goods advanced with the at least one conveyor past the inspection apparatus; and a processor operably coupled to the at least one conveyor, and communicably coupled to the at least one camera to receive the case image data from the at least one camera, wherein the inspection system is characterized in that at least one camera (171, 172, 173) arranged to capture case image data of each of the cased goods advanced with the at least one conveyor past the inspection apparatus; and a processor operably coupled to the at least one conveyor, and communicably coupled to the at least one camera to receive the case image data from the at least one camera, wherein the inspection system is characterized in that the processor is configured to characterize, from the case image data, a case exterior protrusion (220, 1450, 1451, 1452, 1453, 1454) of the cased goods as a case flap (1300, 1300A, 1300B) in open condition, wherein the processor is configured to resolve the case image data and determine the case exterior protrusion is a coherent planar surface, and is programmed with a parameter array of physical characteristic parameters that describe case flap coherency attributes determinative of the coherent planar surface defining an open case flap condition, and wherein the processor is configured to generate from the case image data, for each coherent planar surface determined, a physical characteristic array and apply the parameter array to the physical characteristic array so as to resolve the coherent planar surface as being an open case flap. exterior protrusion (220, 1450, 1451, 1452, 1453, 1454) of the cased goods as a case flap (1300, 1300A, 1300B) in open condition, wherein the processor is configured to resolve the case image data and determine the case exterior protrusion is a coherent planar surface, and is programmed with a parameter array of physical characteristic parameters that describe case flap coherency attributes determinative of the coherent planar surface defining an open case flap condition, and wherein the processor is configured to generate from the case image data, for each coherent planar surface determined, a physical characteristic array and apply the parameter array to the physical characteristic array so as to resolve the coherent planar surface as being an open case flap.
