ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE In its simplest sense, the present invention contemplates a method and apparatus for determining a characteristic or property of randomly oriented, irregularly shaped objects by shape analysis. Having determined the characteristic or property of the ob- jects analyzed, they can be treated appropriately, for example, sorted and the like. As is shown in Figure 2, for example, a shape parameter is obtained by first obtaining a video image of the objects. Thereafter the video image is digitized, an edge point profile is obtained. A plurality of Fourier amplitudes for each profile is next obtained which are orthogonalized for comparison with preestablished criteria.
