<p>System (122) and method for inspecting a container (114) for defects. A first polarizer (190) positioned between a light source (174) and the container (114) polarizes light provided by the light source (174) for illuminating the container (114). A second polarizer (192) positioned between the container (114) and a camera (168) polarizes the light transmitted through the container (114) to the camera (168). As positioned, the axes (182) of transmission of the first (190) and second (192) polarizers are non-parallel relative to each other. An image processor (144) processes an image generated by the camera (168) as a function of an optical characteristic of the image to detect defects in the container.</p> |
