A light 2 for reflected light that emits visible light for reflected light onto a front side of a veneer 6, a light 32 for invisible light that emits near-infrared light for transmitted light onto a back side of the veneer 6, and an image processing device 1 that detects defects of the veneer 6 by analyzing a captured image generated by a line sensor camera 4 are provided. Defects of the veneer 6 are discriminated on the basis of a set of shading and shapes in an infrared-transmitted-light image based on the transmitted light, and colors in a visible-light image based on the reflected light. Consequently, even if a defect has a small color difference from a normal part in the visible-light image, difference of shading between the defective part and the normal part appears in the infrared-transmitted-light image, and a defect that is difficult to detect by seeing only a color difference in a visible-light image can be relatively easily detected.

A method of analysing the quality of a welding area of an absorbent sanitary article is disclosed. During a learning step, a plurality of welding operations are performed both with a sufficient quality and with an insufficient quality, and the welding area generated for each welding operation is monitored via a camera. During a training step, the pixel data of the welding areas monitored during the learning step is processed for training a classifier configured to estimate a welding quality as a function of respective pixel data of a respective welding area. Accordingly, during a normal welding operating step, the welding quality may be estimate via the classifier, thereby improving the environmental sustainability of the production process.

A method and a device for detecting plastic foreign objects with low chromaticity difference in shredded tobacco through online pulse spectral imaging are provided. The method includes three steps: negative pressure thin-layer loading of shredded tobacco, pulse line-scanning identification of shredded tobacco, and positive pressure online elimination of foreign objects.
