Optical inspection systems and methods for moving objects

A modular optical inspection system, comprising:

• a portable chassis;
• an image capturing device coupled to the portable chassis, the image capturing device configured to acquire images of an object that is moving;
• and
• an image processing and storage system coupled to the image capturing device, the image processing and storage system comprising:
• a first-stage frame grabber coupled to the image capturing device and configured to receive the images from the image capturing device;
• a second-stage processor coupled to the first-stage frame grabber and configured to analyze the images from the first-stage frame grabber;
• a second-stage storage system coupled to the second-stage processor and configured to store images and information from the second-stage processor;
• a third-stage processor coupled to the second-stage storage system and configured to process information from the second-stage processor and second-stage storage system and produce a report;
• and
• a third-stage storage system coupled to the third-stage processor and configured to store images and information from the third-stage processor.
