Abstract
To distinguish between different types of fault detected by laser scanning of a moving web two or more detectors are arranged to collect light reflected in different ranges of angles in direction of web motion. By combining outputs of these in a logical way representing increases or decreases in the sums and differences of the signals they produce, the faults can be classified as absorbing, scattering, or their opposites, or deflecting.
