Contextual candidate classification on a changing tobacco belt
Belt colour and conveyor cleats in a tobacco flow can resemble foreign-material candidates. Fixed blind regions can instead exclude real foreign objects passing through those locations.
Proposed output: candidate region, context class, visibility and review reason. Results require measurement by foreign-material type and size group; this scene does not show an accuracy percentage.

Solution approach
Detect candidates across the visible field and classify each with its tobacco, belt and cleat context in a second stage. Track visibility and uncertainty rather than creating fixed blind regions. Revalidate with independent samples after belt changes; fully covered objects have no optical evidence.
