Abstract

This disclosure relates to a method for inspecting smoking articles, wherein each smoking article includes an elongate tubular wrapper extending along a longitudinal axis (AC), a filling material (MTA) wrapped in the wrapper (IC) and an elongate body (CP) embedded in the filling material (MTA) at a predetermined position. The method comprises the following steps: capturing an image (IMM) of the smoking article or a part thereof, viewed along an optical path oriented along the longitudinal axis (AC); through a processor, feeding the image (IMM) to a machine-learned model (MA), the machine-learned model (MA) being trained to identify the body (CP) in the image (IMM).
