Abstract:
An in-flight 3D inspector includes a sample input funnel, a sample chute, a trigger, a plurality of cameras, a light source and storage device. A sample is placed in the sample input funnel and is caused to travel down the sample chute. The trigger is located on the sample chute and detects when the sample passes the trigger. In response to detecting the passing of the sample, the trigger outputs a trigger signal that indicates when the sample will pass through a focal plane on which all the plurality of cameras are focused. In response to the trigger signal, the sample is illuminated by the light source and the plurality of cameras capture an image of the sample as the sample passes through the focal plane. The captured images are stored on the storage device and used to generate a 3D image of the sample.

Claim (Index 3):
The device of  claim 1 , further comprising:\n a sample input funnel; a sample chute, wherein the sample chute is adapted to receive the sample from the sample input funnel, and wherein the sample chute is adapted to direct the sample toward a focal plane; a collector bin adapted to receive the sample after the sample travels through the focal plane; and a computer system adapted to generate a three dimensional image of the sample based on the images captured by the first and second cameras, wherein the images captured by the first and second cameras are captured while the sample is not in contact with any surface.
