Abstract

The development of parallel algorithms for an automatic recognition and classification of objects from an industrial line (either production or packaging) is presented. This kind of problem introduces a temporal restriction on images processing, a parallel resolution being therefore required.

We have chosen simple objects (fruits, eggs, etc.), which are classified according to characteristics such as shape, color, size, defects (stains, loss of color...
