Zusammenfassung:There is described a linear inspection system for inspecting a wood product moving longitudinally along a longitudinal path. The linear inspection system generally has: a frame proximate to the longitudinal path; an endface detector mounted to the frame, the endface detector configured for generating a trigger signal upon detecting that an endface of the wood product is within a detection zone located along the longitudinal path; and a camera mounted to the frame and being communicatively coupled to the endface detector, the camera having a camera axis forming a grazing angle with respect to the longitudinal path and a field of view encompassing an inspection zone of the longitudinal path, the camera configured for acquiring an image of the endface of the wood product as it reaches the inspection zone based on the trigger signal.
