Abstract :
A real-time pipelined image processing system operating in a time division multiplexing mode to serve up to 16 cameras, was realized to count the mass of a flow of bottles on a conveyor belt. The realized mass counting system proved to be a powerful tool capable of continuously counting bottles with a speed of approximately 500000 bottles a day per measurement point and with an accuracy of less then 0.5%
