    Abstract: The systems and methods described herein relate to digital light masking systems and methods for automated image inspection. First, a digital light masking system comprising a video signal; a source light which outputs emitted light; a digital light mask which attenuates the emitted light; and a vision system. The systems may inspect a disposable absorbent article. Second, a method for automated image inspection, comprising the steps of: generating a video signal; providing a uniform source light which outputs emitted light; providing a digital light mask which attenuates the emitted light; directing the attenuated light towards an article; and inspecting the article with a vision system. The uniform source light may be an LED light, the digital light mask may be an LCD panel, the attenuated light may be directed towards a disposable absorbent article, and/or the vision system may comprise a camera.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for counting and processing pliable objects are disclosed. A vision system may capture an inspection image of a plurality of pliable objects. The inspection image may be partitioned into a plurality of windows traversing the inspection image. For each individual window of the plurality of windows, a blob extraction process is performed to determine a plurality of blobs corresponding to regions within the inspection image having substantially the second luminance value range such that the plurality of blobs correspond to the plurality of pliable objects. The blobs are counted for each window to determine a total number of pliable objects in the plurality of pliable objects.

    Abstract: A process is provided for inspecting an absorbent article constructed from multiple components. A filtered image is produced from the absorbent article. In the image of the absorbent article, a nonlinear first edge and a second edge are identified at a location where there is a course change in contrast. A center point and centerline of the absorbent article is calculated using the position of the first edge and the second edge. A skew of the absorbent article is calculated. These known locations are utilized to define at least one additional region of the image for further analysis. A third edge and fourth edge are identified at a location where there is a fine change in contrast. The skew of the third edge and the fourth edge within the defined region is calculated and compared to known parameters for the absorbent article.
