Abstract
A method and an apparatus are disclosed for detecting a structure to be applied to a substrate, such as an adhesive bead or a sealant track, with one or more optical acquisition apparatuses. The images from the optical acquisition apparatuses are combined to form a plan view such that a representation of the optical acquisition devices is output in a common image. The optical acquisition devices have, as a center, an application device for applying the structure to the substrate.

A method for detecting a structure to be applied to a substrate, such as an adhesive bead or a sealant track, with a number of optical acquisition apparatuses comprising a number of image acquisition sensors, the method comprising:
- combining images of the optical acquisition apparatuses to form a plan view such that a representation of the optical acquisition devices is output in a common image such that in the common image of the optical acquisition devices, as a center, the position of an application device for applying the structure to the substrate is provided;
- and
- arranging the optical acquisition apparatuses around the application device within a sensor head, the optical acquisition apparatuses being connected within the sensor head to a device for assembling the overall image;
- wherein the images of the optical acquisition apparatuses are assembled to form a common image which is assembled from images in the form of disc segments of the optical acquisition apparatuses in order to produce a 360° view around the application unit.
An apparatus for detecting a structure to be applied to a substrate, such as an adhesive bead or a sealant track, the apparatus comprising:
- a plurality of optical acquisition apparatuses comprising a number of image acquisition sensors, wherein images of the optical acquisition apparatuses are combined to form a plan view such that a representation of the optical acquisition devices is output in a common image;
- and
- an application device arranged between the optical acquisition devices in order to apply the structure to the substrate;
- wherein the optical acquisition apparatuses are arranged around the application device within a sensor head, the optical acquisition apparatuses respectively being connected within the sensor head to a device for assembling the overall image, and wherein the images of the optical acquisition apparatuses are assembled to form an overall image which is made up of images in the form of disc segments of the optical acquisition apparatus in order to produce a 360° view around the application unit.
