ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A high resolution CCD video camera (6) is positioned and aligned with respect to an illuminated article (7) so that a straight edge of the article, or a straight line junction between a bright zone and a dark zone of its surface, crosses the field of view of the camera in a direction substantially parallel to the rows of the camera's orthogonal array of rows and columns of light responsive elements,to divide that field of view into bright and dark zones. A frame store and digitiser (9) converts the individual signals generated by the elements into digital grey values. The grey values derived from the elements of each row are summed by a computer (10) to produce a linear array of summation values positionally related to the respective columns, and the computer then determines the position of the edge or junction to a sub- column spacing accuracy by determining the mean value of two of the summation values selected respectively from a row receiving energy from the bright zone and one receiving energy from the dark zone and establishing a position in the array for the mean value, and thus for the feature, by interpolating the mean value between the two summation values immediately above and below it in magnitude.
