SENSOR DEVICE FOR PROVIDING CONTROL FOR A FOOD PROCESSING SYSTEM

A processor of the sensor device receives a plurality of images captured depicting a scene that describes at least a portion of the conveyor entry into a processing area of the food processing system. The processor processes one or more of the plurality of images to detect one or more characteristics in the scene, and is used for processing the one or more images includes detecting the presence or absence of a product on the at least a portion of the conveyor depicted in the scene, and classifying the scene as having one or more characteristics of a predetermined set of characteristics. The sensor device provides characteristic information indicative of the one or more characteristics detected in the scene to a controller. A controller is to use the characteristic information to control the operation of one or both of the conveyor and the processing area of the food processing system. 传感器装置的处理器接收捕获描绘场景的多个图像，所述场景描述输送机进入食品处理系统的处置区域的至少一部分。处理器处理所述多个图像中的一个或多个图像，以检测所述场景中的一个或多个特性。处理所述一个或多个图像包括检测所述场景中描绘的所述输送机的所述至少一部分
