An apparatus for measuring gobs of viscous liquid in free fall from a gob feeder. The apparatus includes a video camera for capturing a complete two dimensional, frozen video image of at least one entire gob at a point in time during free fall, wherein the frozen video image is acquired via a single operation of the means for capturing. A digitizer is provided for digitizing the video image to produce a first digitized image of the at least one entire gob with n x n pixel arrays. And, an image analyzer is used for analyzing at least the first digitized image for determining if the at least one entire gob is a usable gob. <IMAGE> |
