Abstract
A monitoring system implements a method for versatile and efficient detection and grading of deviations in packaging containers for liquid food in a manufacturing plant. The method comprises obtaining image data of a packaging container, or a starting material for use in producing the packaging container; analyzing the image data for detection of a current deviation; processing the current deviation in relation to a set of basis functions, which is associated with a deviation type of the current deviation, to obtain a current set of weights that represent the current deviation; and determining a current grading of the current deviation based on the current set of weights. The set of basis function may be pre-computed based on reproductions of packaging containers or starting material comprising different magnitudes of the deviation type.
