摘要： A method and apparatus for product separation and processing are provided where an apparatus for sorting and grouping objects includes an attribute measure device (20), a first conveyor (18) moving at a first rate of speed, a second conveyor (26) oriented perpendicularly to the first conveyor (18) and moving at a second rate of speed which is less than the first rate of speed, a position determination device (30), and a controller unit (22) that groups sets of objects (16) matching a target attribute based on attribute measurements and position information from a population of objects (28).
