Auto Distinction System And Auto Distinction Method
First Claim
1. An auto distinction system which is transmittable to a computer a characteristic information containing a defect information concerning at least one characteristic selected from the group consisting of a width, a thickness, and a stain of a continuously moving assembled fiber band as a time sequence or time-series fluctuation information, and which comprises a line sensor for imaging the continuously moving assembled fiber band, an extracting means for extracting the defect information from the characteristic information based on a video signal from the line sensor, and a distinction means for distinguishing suitability of the characteristic or extracted information based on an extracted signal from the extracting means and a reference signal with respect to the characteristic or defect information.

Abstract
The present invention provides an auto distinction system and an auto distinction method with which suitability of a width, a thickness, and a stain of a continuously moving assembled fiber band can be accurately distinguished. An assembled fiber band such as a filter tow which continuously moves on the front side of a background plate is imaged by a line sensor. Based on the produced video signal, a characteristic information containing a defect information concerning a thickness, a width, and a stain of the assembled fiber band is detected, and the defect information is extracted from the characteristic information. Thus suitability of the assembled fiber band is distinguished. For example, the video signal is supplied to a noise-eliminating circuit 6a and a defect signal concerning the thickness of the assembled fiber band is extracted. Based on the extracted signal and a reference signal with respect to the information, suitability of the defect information is distinguished by a distinction circuit 7. When the results of distinction are defective, the results are announced by an annunciation circuit 8. The video signal may be clamped by a clamping circuit 5b, and based on the clamped video signal, the defect information of the assembled fiber band may be extracted. The characteristic information or the defect information may be supplied to an external computer and used for process control.
