Abstract

An arrangement for detecting foreign objects in products. The products are X-rayed to produce a quantized raster scanned signal. The samples thus obtained for each line are combined with the bit samples of the next line, shifted by at least one position, and the output signal is applied to an evaluation arrangement which supplies an alarm signal when a foreign object is present.
