PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide methods and apparatus for candling eggs that can quickly identify non-live eggs, inverted eggs, and side air cell eggs.SOLUTION: A method of candling eggs includes: exposing a plurality of incubated eggs to an environment having a temperature different from a temperature at which the eggs were incubated; obtaining a thermal image of the eggs; and analyzing the thermal image to obtain surface temperature information for each egg. The surface temperature information is utilized to designate each egg as live/non-live, inverted, or having a side air cell. |
