Abstract
Color processing is very important for inspection of natural products and also for products which are produced in pharmaceutic and food industries. Using line scan cameras, a high throughput can be achieved with a good local resolution. A color processing system was developed which uses highly sophisticated procedures at a processing speed of 10 Mbytes/sec. This system is successfully applied in tobacco industry in order to detect impurities in the tobacco with high reliability. Further experiments have shown that the color processing system works well also in other applications. Pilot installations will soon be made in wood planning industry for quality assurance and in pharmaceutic industry for the final control of blisters.
