Abstract

A non-intrusive and non-contact system for real-time detection of spurious elements in raw material processing chains for industrial environments is presented. Observation line spectrographs, based on the visible.near infrared (Vis.NIR) reflectance of the material under study, are obtained using a dual spatial-spectroscopic imaging technique. To attain a representative spectral fingerprint, the large amount of data is compressed using a principal component analysis (PCA) fast algorithm prior to the classification made by a neural network. The technique has been successfully tested on the tobacco industry. However, the technique is not limited to tobacco leaves, but other materials can be discriminated or classified instead.
