Abstract：During the industrial production of pastries,foreign substances such as plastic and rubber can accidentally enter the processing chain,posing serious risks to consumer health and safety.Therefore,detecting foreign substances in pastries is a critical quality control step.X-ray computed tomography(CT)is a fast,non-contact,and non-destructive testing method that is widely used in quality inspection processes on of industrial pastry production lines.However,owing to the high-throughput detection requirements of such production lines,the analysis of a single product typically needs to be completed within 1s.This limited time frame makes it impossible to capture a sufficient number of projection images,restricting the use of conventional CT methods.In this study,we propose a foreign-object detection method based on the U-Net network,which is trained using CT data from the same type of samples and foreign objects.The experimental results show that this method requires only a few projection images to accurately identify multiple foreign objects.It can quickly and efficiently detect foreign objects from CT data on industrial production lines,greatly improving detection efficiency in the pastry industry.
