Abstract
A data processing apparatus for a sorting apparatus, a method for sorting material and a sorting apparatus are disclosed. The data processing apparatus comprises a first data processing entity configured to operate a sorting application for processing of image data from a source of image data and a second data processing entity configured to operate an analysis application using a neural network for processing said image data from the source of image data, the second data processing entity being configured for processing of higher resolution image data than the first data processing entity. An image data resolution converter is provided to reduce the resolution of said image data from the source of image data prior to processing by the sorting application of the first data processing entity.
