Abstract
A method to account for foreign material in a zone includes the steps of training an object detection model to identify an object using a set of database images of objects on a computer utilizing AI algorithms to create a trained object detection model, receiving an object in an area within a field of view of a camera, distinguishing whether the object is entering the foreign material zone or exiting the foreign material zone, and identifying the object using the trained object detection model. In response to the distinguishing step, the method includes storing the image in a log representing the objects in the foreign material exclusion zone in response to the object being identified by the AI-based trained object detection model when the object is entering he foreign material zone or removing the image from the log when the object is exiting the foreign material zone.
