Abstract

A system and method for inspection and cosmetic grading of objects is provided. Camera and lighting assemblies capture images of an object and create a 2D composite image which is processed by an image processing module with a deep learning machine algorithm to detect surface defects in the object. Detected defects are localized and measured for depth of defect by an advanced optical sensor, providing a 3D representation of defects. A cosmetic grading algorithm determines the cosmetic grade of the object and the optimal path of disposition for the item based on the grade.
