Patent ID: 7965385

Claim:
A method for analyzing objects received in individual cells arranged in successive transversal rows according to a continuous repetitive pattern along longitudinal lines on a conveyor belt that conducts the objects along the longitudinal direction through a visiometric examination site comprising receptors that are sensitive to emergent light beams transmitted from said objects, characterized in that examination of each row is conducted in at least first and second stages of successive actions while illuminating the transversal rows that are to be examined by different illumination doses and in the second stage illuminating only those transversal rows which, in the first stage, were not revealed as presenting a condition that would cause a glaring of the receptors during the second stage, wherein during said first stage, empty transversal rows of eggs are distinguished from those in which an egg is present, and coordinates of empty cells are determined and registered of said transversal rows in a current row in order to control illumination conditions during said second stage to avoid illuminating empty cells, and during said second stage, said objects are exposed to a light beam during a principal measurement cycle applied to each current successive row passing through said visiometric examination site only in examination sites where an egg is present.
