CONVEYER BELT WITH OPTICALLY VISIBLE AND MACHINE-DETECTABLE INDICATORS
First Claim
1. A method for correlating optically visible objects with objects detectable through a non-invasive imaging system, comprising:
- conveying an object on a conveyer belt through the non-invasive imaging system, wherein the conveyer belt comprises optically visible indicia and machine-detectable indicia;
displaying the object and the machine-detectable indicia on a display operatively coupled to the non-invasive imaging system;
correlating the machine-detectable indicia viewed on the display with the optically visible indicia on the conveyer belt after the object has exited the non-invasive imaging system to identify the object.

Abstract
A method for correlating optically visible objects with objects detectable through a non-invasive imaging system is described. The method includes conveying an object on a conveyer belt through the non-invasive imaging system. The conveyer belt can include optically visible indicia and machine-detectable indicia. The object and the machine-detectable indicia can be displayed on a display in communication with the non-invasive imaging system. The machine-detectable indicia viewed on the display can be correlated with the optically visible indicia on the conveyer belt after the object has exited the non-invasive imaging system to identify the object.
