A method and apparatus for screening articles utilizing a plurality of
operators, with each operator utilizing an interactive display to
identify and electronically mark objects within an article to be further
examined. An operator positioned at an interactive display views
electronic images of an article to be screened after it has been conveyed
past a sensor array which transmits sequences of images of the series
either directly or through a computer to the interactive display. The
operator selects objects within the article displayed on the screen for
further examination using the interactive feature of the display thereby
registering the objects selected within the computer. The computer then
provides sequential information identifying actions to be taken and
information and data to be recorded.
