Abstract

A blackening sensor analyses a signal generated by the detection of scattered light reflected from a succession of small illuminated areas on the surface of a web to determine the degree of skewness of the amplitude distribution of the generated signal from a normal distribution, thereby to provide an indication of the degree of blackening.
