Abstract
An apparatus for the inspection of hot glass containers for faults comprises a camera (1) sensitive to infrared radiation located opposite the path of travel of the hot glass container (6) through an inspection zone (13). The image of each hot glass container is processed by electronic means (2) into regions and the data for each region is compared with predetermined parameters to determine whether or not the glass container is defective.
