Counting of Integrated Circuits by photo or video

I am looking for a quick, cheap yet reliable way to count IC's that are in anti-statis shipping tubes. I am thinking of a way to count automatically via a photo or video?

Welcome to PF.

Can you post a few representative photos? Use the "Attach files" link below the Edit window to upload the images.

Have you considered using weighing instead of photo/video?

There's a counting app in apple store. You can probably try before you buy.

It's almost a trivial task for new AI, I reckon.

Search machine vision. This should be a near trivial task for a modern machine vision system. There are a number of good machine vision manufacturers that can supply a good and reliable system. Just do not expect it to be cheap.

Are they all the same. If so, can you weigh them?
