Abstract:
The invention provides a method and a system of checking a procedure for the optical inspection of glass containers ( 12 ), characterized by a procedure for the optical recognition of a control mark ( 42 ) of a control container having optical properties of transformation spectral such that:          the transformation of the spectral intensity distribution between the incident (LRi) and return (LRr) recognition lights, by the mark ( 42 ), is different from that caused by interaction with a marking portion free of any mark ( 46 ); the transformation of the spectral intensity distribution between the incident (LIi) and return (LIr) inspection lights, by the mark, is not different, inside at least one useful portion of the inspection spectral band (BSI), from that caused by interaction with a marking portion free of any mark ( 46 ).

Claim (Index 1):
1 - A method of checking a procedure for the optical inspection of glass containers ( 12 ), wherein the optical inspection procedure of a container comprises the steps of:\n illuminating at least one inspected portion of the container with an incident inspection light (LIi) having an incident inspection spectrum; collecting a return inspection light (LIrl, LIrl) resulting from the interaction of the incident inspection light (LIi) with the inspected portion of the container, the return inspection light having a return inspection spectrum; converting, in an inspection spectral band (BSI), the collected return inspection light (LIrl, LIrl) into a linear or two-dimensional multipoint inspection digital image (II); analyzing the inspection digital image (II) for determining an inspection result from the inspected container ( 12 ), wherein the method of checking comprises the steps of: inspecting, in accordance with the optical inspection procedure, a control container ( 12 t ) comprising a control mark ( 42 ) affixed to a marking portion of the control container ( 40 ); comparing an inspection result from the control container ( 12 t ) determined by the optical inspection procedure to a known inspection result from the control container ( 12 t ); characterized in that: the method of checking comprises a procedure for the optical recognition of a control container by optical reading of a control mark ( 42 ) in a marked marking portion ( 44 ) of the control container ( 12 t ), comprising the steps of:\n illuminating at least the marking portion ( 40 ) of the container with an incident recognition light (LRi) having an incident recognition spectrum; \n collecting a return recognition light (LRr) resulting from the interaction of the incident recognition light with the marking portion ( 40 ) and a possible control mark, the return recognition light (LRr) having a return recognition spectrum; converting, in a recognition spectral band (BSR), the collected return recognition light into a linear or two-dimensional multipoint recognition digital image (IR); analyzing the recognition digital image (IR) by computer for recognizing the possible control mark ( 42 ) therein; and in that the control mark ( 42 ), affixed to the marking portion of a control container, has optical properties of spectral transformation such that: the transformation of the spectral intensity distribution between the incident recognition light (LRi) and the return recognition light (LRr), caused by interaction with the marked marking portion ( 44 ), is different, inside at least the recognition spectral band (BSR), from a transformation of the spectral intensity distribution between the incident recognition light and the return recognition light, caused by interaction with a marking portion free of any mark ( 46 ); the transformation of the spectral intensity distribution between the incident inspection light (LIi) and the return inspection light (LIr), caused by interaction with the marked marking portion, is not different, inside at least one useful portion of the inspection spectral band (BSI), from the transformation of the spectral intensity distribution between the incident Inspection light and the return inspection light by interaction with a marking portion free of any mark ( 46 ).
