    Patent number: 6104427
    Abstract: A plurality of separate conveyings over each of which a single line camera is mounted and connected to a sensor processor, which itself is connected to a fast data network with a plurality of processing terminals. Because of the high resolution (up to 7000 picture elements per line) and a line scanning frequency of the order of up to 6000 hertz very large amounts of data are received, so in the preferred embodiment a high capacity data network is used, for example a 100 Mbit ethernet with a switching hub.
