An apparatus for providing a two-dimensional image of a three-dimensional object illuminates the surface of the object using an illumination source. Portions of the surface are imaged through an aperture in a plate onto a portion of a matrix sensor. The object is rotated about its princi
This invention provides a method and apparatus (100) for detecting small glass particles (12) in bottles (1) filled with beer (10). The beer (10) is caused to rotate with respect to the bottle (1), and successive images are obtained from the bottle by means of a CCD-camera (40) which is
