Abstract

A conveyor-based system and method for assessing perishable consumable product quality include at least one conveyor for moving products and one or more image capture devices. A processor-based control circuit estimates the time a product will be at the center of an image capture device's field of view, considering conveyor speed, product type, size, and shape. At this estimated time, the control circuit causes the image capture device to capture images from various perspectives. These captured images facilitate efficient and precise quality assessment, including defect detection, identification, and severity evaluation using machine learning models and reference image data.
