Provided is a system for inspecting and optimizing containerized software applications. A container image may include a plurality of files and layers, and some of such files and layers may not be used during the execution of the container image. A system described herein can identify and remove such unused files and/or layers from the container image by launching an inspector task configured to launch the container image, monitor access to the files in the container image, identify which files are unused, and remove the unused files from the container image (or generate a new container image not including the unused files). By doing so, the system can reduce the size of the container image, which can reduce the storage costs, startup latency, and security vulnerabilities associated with the container image.

A continuous quality control device for containers in a roto-revolutionary movement consists of making said containers pass in front of lighting means, capturing by at least one single sequential image capturing device each of said containers in rotation, obtaining an optical reconstruction of said containers and controlling their quality according to said optical reconstruction, characterised in that said lighting means is equipped with stroboscopic control means that allows the illumination of said containers in counterphase from at least two different angles of incidence and the capturing of at least two overlapping images in the same angular rotation position of said container in its own housing with respect to said image capturing device.

Described herein are various technologies related to inspecting transparent containers for both opaque and transparent defects. An emitter is configured to direct a color gradient through a sidewall of a transparent container, such that color of light that passes through the sidewall varies across the sidewall. A camera is configured to capture an image of the sidewall of the transparent container while the color gradient passes through the sidewall of the container. A computing system receives the image and determines whether the sidewall of the container includes either an opaque or a transparent defect based upon the image.

An apparatus for optical inspection of objects, in particular cans. The apparatus includes an inspection station, a lighting system, and a camera directed towards the inspection system to capture an image of the lateral surface of the object to be inspected. A Fresnel lens is associated with the lighting system to direct a beam of light rays collimated towards the object to be inspected, located in the inspection station. A further Fresnel lens is positioned to face the object to be inspected, located in the inspection station and directed in such a way as to make the collimated light rays converge on the object.

The invention provides a device for optically inspecting high temperature glass containers (2), the device comprising a lighting system (7) having a light-emitting surface that is adapted to emit both: a flash first light flux during a flash duration of less than 1 ms and at a wavelength longer than 650 nm; and also a bottle-scanning second light flux having wavelengths shorter than 650 nm and for a duration of not less than 2 s, the lighting system (7) being controlled: to emit the flash light flux so that the camera can take images of each container while back-lit by said flash light flux; and to emit the bottle-scanning light flux that is perceived by a human eye as being continuous.

The invention relates to an installation for optically inspecting containers (2) manufactured by a forming machine at the outlet of which the containers travel by means of a conveyor (5) past at least one inspection device (I) including at least one camera (10) mounted inside a support chamber (11). The installation includes a system for fastening the support chamber (11) on the conveyor (5) in such a manner that the support chamber (11) is positioned on one side of the conveyor and presents, below the conveyor, a low section (11b) in which the camera (10) is mounted, the support chamber (11) also presenting, above the conveyor, a high section (11h) provided with an observation port (15) and in which an optical deflector system (16) is mounted.

3D graphene optical sensors, such as microstructure sensors and nanostructure sensors. The 3D optical sensors include one or more graphene panels shaped to surround an interior, open volume. Graphene plasmons couple across the interior, open volume. The 3D optical sensors can have a polygonal shape or a cylindrical shape.

It is proposed to carry out an optical inspection of preforms (7) by means of at least one camera device (2, 3, 13), in such a way that the preforms (7) are in a relative position to each other that is unchanged in comparison with the injection molding operation.

Described herein are various technologies pertaining to an automated light field illumination container inspection. The container inspection system includes a plurality of cameras that capture images of a container when the container is illuminated by way of light field illumination. Bands in images that include reflections in the exterior surface of the sidewall are identified, and a determination is made as to whether the container is defective based upon the identified bands.

Methods and apparatus of inspection tools for inspecting impurities in vials are provided herein. In some embodiments, an inspection tool for inspecting impurities in vials includes: a table for inspecting a plurality of vials; one or more carts configured to move about the table to place the one or more carts in an inspection position, wherein each of the one or more carts includes a vial holder configured to hold a plurality of vials, and wherein each vial holder is configured to spin the plurality of vials on their own respective axes; and a camera configured to take images of the plurality of vials when the plurality of vials are disposed in the inspection position.
