1. An inspection line system comprising;
a processor in communication with a user interface and a camera wherein the processor is configured to:
determine from an image of an inspected item on an inspection line, during an inspection stage, whether the inspected item has a defect or is defect free
analyze images of defect free items of a same type as the inspected item; and
generate a signal to provide instruction to a user, via the user interface, prior to the inspection stage, an indication that the type of the inspected item cannot be inspected to avoid user frustration when, based on the analysis, a predetermined amount of information about the type of inspected item cannot be obtained; and wherein the analysis comprises comparing the images of the defect free items captured by the camera with each other to collect information about the type of inspected item.
