An apparatus for counting discrete objects of various sizes and shapes as they travel through the apparatus in a disorderly flow. The apparatus includes a sensor array which comprises a plurality of photodetectors arranged in a linear fashion. The discrete objects are passed over the sensor array. By utilizing the sensor array as a means for obtaining information about the discrete objects, the apparatus samples the sensor array at predetermined time intervals, examines the various contours of the images produced through the sampling and based upon predetermined criteria determines whether an image represents one or more objects.
Un appareil pour compter des objets discrets de diverses formes et tailles pendant qu'ils se déplacent dans l'appareil en un mouvement désordonné. L'appareil comprend une mosaïque de capteurs composée de plusieurs photodétecteurs disposés de façon linéaire. Les objets discrets transitent par la mosaïque de capteurs. En utilisant la mosaïque de capteurs comme moyen d'obtenir des renseignements sur les objets discrets, l'appareil échantillonne la mosaïque de capteurs à des intervalles de temps préétablis, examine les divers contours des images créées par l'échantillonnage et, à partir de critères préétablis, détermine si une image représente un ou plusieurs objets.
