FOOD INSPECTION DEVICE AND METHOD OF USE THEREOF

The present disclosure relates to insect detecting systems, and more specifically, to a foodinspection system (hereinafter interchangeably referred as “detection system” or “detectiondevice”) and method for the detection of worms inside pea pods and separation of defaultedpea pods. The detection device includes an X-Ray generator 210, an image processing device212 and a robotic arm separator 214. The X-Ray generator 210 emits X-rays having awavelength suitable to illuminate the pod within the detection device to reproduce one ormore images associated with the internals of the pod. The image processing device 212processes said one or more images reproduced by the X-Ray generator to detect presence ofthe one or more worms in said pod. The robotic arm separator 214 communicably coupledwith the image processing device 212 and is configured to separate said pod upon detectingpresence of the one or more worms.
