Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé et un appareil de comptage d'objets de forme générale sphérique ou ellipsoïdale. Les objets, disposés au hasard, traversent une zone de comptage éclairée. La lumière réfléchie est dirigée vers une matrice de photocapteurs dont les signaux de sortie sont analysés pour produire des diagrammes de reconnaissance de forme à partir desquels des impulsions de comptage sont émises. L'invention s'applique notamment au comptage de fruits tels que des oranges, des pamplemousses, etc.
