Abstract: A scanner system comprising a plurality of scanners which are spatially separated in both transverse and longitudinal directions relative to a workpiece flow in the longitudinal direction, the scanners adapted to produce corresponding scanned image data, a transport which moves workpieces in a workpiece flow, the transport including lateral curves in the transverse direction so the transport does not occlude a field of view of the scanners, wherein a first field of view of each scanner spatially separated in the longitudinal direction from a laterally adjacent scanner having a second field of view is adjacent to and abuts against the second field of view, so that the scanned image data produced by each scanner of the plurality of scanners abuts the scanned image data produced by the laterally adjacent scanner, whereby the scanned image data produced by each scanner of the plurality of scanners does not include overlapping image data.
