A transferring device comprises a controllable goods carrier such as an ejecting spout (9) for conveying goods to a target area (19), a stereo camera (29) for providing images of the target area, and a control system (46) for deriving information from the images and controlling the goods carrier (9) taking into account the information derived from the images. The stereo camera (29) has objective lenses (36a, 36b) defining a base line (43) with a tilt angle relative to horizontal (45). Preferably the base line is placed in a vertical plane. The transfer devise has floodlight projectors (31, 33) placed at lease 0.5 m from the stereo camera (29).
A transferring device comprising a controllable goods carrier (9) for conveying goods to a target area (19), an imaging device (29) for providing images of the target area and a control system (46) for deriving information from the images and controlling the goods carrier (9) taking into account the information derived from the images, characterized in that the imaging device is a stereo camera (29) comprising at least two objective lenses (36a, 36b), said two objective lenses being positioned at a common base line (43), and that the base line (43) is situated relative to the horizontal (45) in a tilted manner.
A transferring device comprising a controllable goods carrier (9) for conveying goods to a target area (19), an imaging device (29) for providing images of the target area and a control system (46) for deriving information from the images and controlling the goods carrier (9) taking into account the information derived from the images, characterized in comprising a floodlight projector (31) for illuminating the target area, said floodlight projector having a field angle (47) of at least 10°, preferably at least 20°, and being positioned at least 0.5 meter, preferably at least 0.75 meter, and more preferably at least 1 meter from the imaging device (29), the floodlight projector having a mean direction of illumination (49), the imaging device having a mean direction of view (39), and that said mean direction of illumination and said mean viewing direction differ less than 70°, preferably less than 45°.
