摘要： The invention is directed to a method and apparatus for detecting foreign matter including small particles of organic materials such as plastics within a layer of tobacco. The tobacco is irradiated with a plurality of selected NIR radiation wavelength bands. Data representative of the NIR radiation exiting the tobacco is compared to a predetermined reference representative of a plurality of different tobacco samples to determine whether the inspected tobacco contains foreign matter.

摘要： A method and apparatus is disclosed that detects the specular reflections from the surface of a travelling web to determine if a material is coated on the web. The web is illuminated with diffuse light and the reflected light is received by a detector which determines the presence and width of the coated material based on the specular reflections from the coated surface of the travelling web.
