  • PALLET INSPECTION SYSTEM AND ASSOCIATED METHODS
    Publication number: 20260051039
    Abstract: A pallet inspection system includes a conveyor to move a pallet that is to be inspected. The pallet includes a top deck and a bottom deck separated by spaced apart support blocks positioned therebetween, with nails being used to secure the top and bottom decks to the support blocks. Cameras are positioned to generate images of the pallet as the pallet is moved on the conveyor. A processor is coupled to the cameras and receives the images for processing. The processing includes executing a first algorithm on the images to tag the images having support blocks visible therein, and executing a second algorithm on the tagged images to detect nails having exposed tips.
    Type: Application
