Abstract
A method of detecting a position of a rectangular object includes the steps of: capturing an image of the object by an image sensor having a rectangular image plane having four edges; detecting, for each edge of the four edges, a distance to a point of the image of the object closest to said each edge; and determining a position of a predefined point of the image of the object based on the detected distances.
