    摘要: A process operable using a computerized system (300) grades the clarity of a diamond (315, 400) as a function of internal defects within its body (315, 400). The computerized system (300) includes an optical image acquisition device (310), a processor module (320) and an output module (340) operably interconnected together. The process includes the steps of (i) acquiring via an optical image acquisition device (310) a plurality of top view images of a diamond (315, 400); (ii) in a processor module (320), detecting defects within the body of the diamond (315, 400); and (iii) from an output module (340), providing a signal indicative of the clarity grade assigned in (ii).
