The invention relates to an inspection system for quality analysis of a food product, comprising means of transport for moving it to an inspection area, a lighting device consisting of LEDs that emit a light sequence directed towards the inspection area to light the product by transmission, a linear camera with at least one line of pixels for collecting a plurality of images in each light sequence of the lighting device, and means for focusing the beam emitted by the lighting device. Advantageously, the lighting device is activated in a pulsed manner, generating a lighting sequence with at least two different illuminations, at least one of which is a transmission-pulsed illumination. The lighting device is aligned on the axis formed by the product to be inspected and the linear camera.
The invention relates to a product inspection and characterization device, including conveyance means, a two-dimensional inspection region, a radiation source generating a spot light beam for partially illuminating the surface of the product, optical means for directing the light beam provided with at least one mirror to aim the spot light beam in the inspection region, optical means for directing the reflected and/or scattered light to detection means, detection means for analyzing the light scattered and/or reflected by the product and a processing unit for characterizing the product. The radiation source emitting the light beam is therefore pointed at the product by optical means directing the light beam to the two-dimensional inspection region. Another object of the present invention relates to the method for product inspection and characterization.

Method for the inspection and sorting of pistachios through artificial vision means and by the rotation of the pistachios around their axis; thereby obtaining multiple images of different views of said pistachios. At the inspection stage, an analysis of every image is carried out for detecting the opening edges of the pistachio; the opening edges length and width are measured and the pistachio is sorted according to pre-established values for the length and width of the opening edges. Finally, the pistachios are conveyed through endless means from the inspection unit for collection, and the pistachios sorted by the inspection unit according to pre-established values for the length and width of the opening edges are ejected endlessly.
