Abstract

A machine vision system for use with a system that takes frozen sample cores from samples that are in containers includes a camera. A processor is configured to receive image data from the camera and to determine locations where frozen sample cores have already been taken. A method of determining one or more locations where a frozen sample core have already been taken from frozen samples includes operating a robotic system to position one of the containers on a platform at a station for receiving the container while a frozen sample core is extracted from the frozen sample contained in the container. The camera is used to capture an image of the frozen sample. Contrast in the captured image is evaluated to identify one or more bore candidates. The processor uses the image to determine whether or not the bore candidates are real bores or artifacts.
