Abstract
Apparatus for inspecting sheet material having known characteristics is disclosed. The apparatus comprises means for providing a plurality of pixel signals each having a magnitude representing the intensity of electromagnetic radiation received from a corresponding point on the sheet material. The apparatus also comprises signal processing means for comparing the magnitude of each one of the pixel signals to a corresponding reference range defined by the known characteristics of the sheet material and generating a characteristic signal. The characteristic signal includes an event signal for each of the magnitudes falling outside of the corresponding reference range and a data signal for each of the magnitudes falling within the range, wherein the data signal represents the magnitude of the pixel signal. The signal processing means also generates an address signal representing the point on the sheet material at which the characteristic signal is generated. The apparatus also comprises system processing means for storing the event signals and the corresponding address signals to provide an indication of deviation from the known characteristics of the sheet material.
