Abstract:
In an illustrative embodiment, a system for identifying products on a production line includes image capturing devices that acquire images of containers moving along a production line at an inspection location. The system also includes a rejection device and a controller that configures the image capturing devices for image acquisition based on properties of the containers, identifies a product associated with each of the containers based on a portion of a product identification code and a portion of additional features detected in the images, and determines whether the identified product matches predetermined properties or characteristics, resulting in a pass result, otherwise a non-pass result occurs. When a non-pass result occurs, the controller outputs a signal to actuate the rejection device that removes the container from the production line.

Claim (Index 2):
A system comprising:\n a plurality of image capturing devices situated near an inspection location on a continuously moving production line, wherein each of the plurality of image capturing devices is oriented to acquire images of a plurality of items moving along the production line from a different orientation angle; a rejection device; and a controller communicatively coupled to the plurality of image capturing devices and the rejection device, wherein the controller is configured to, for each item of the plurality of items,\n identify, from at least one image captured from each of the plurality of image capturing devices, at least one of a portion of a product identification code and a portion of additional features of the respective item, \n assess quality of each image of the respective item captured by each of the plurality of image capturing devices to identify at least one suitable image for further analysis, \n apply at least one matching algorithm to the at least one suitable image to determine whether the at least one of the portion of the product identification code and the portion of the additional features matches product information corresponding to the item, and \n responsive to application of the at least one matching algorithm resulting in no matching product information, cause actuation of the rejection device to remove the item from the production line.
