Abstract
The present invention relates to a system (100) for the optical inspection of objects (102), comprising: one or more detection units (104) for, in particular, continuous optical detection of at least one object (102) to be inspected in a measuring range (106) and for providing image information of the detected object (102); and a computing unit (110) which is designed and programmed to inspect the detected object (102) using the image information provided based on one or more, in particular positive, reference objects and to provide a corresponding inspection result about the object (102) in question. The invention also relates to a method for the optical inspection of objects (102).
Claims21
A system for optical inspection of objects, comprising:
- one or more detection units for, continuously optically detecting at least one object to be inspected in a measuring range and for providing image information of the detected object;
- and
- a computing unit which is designed and programmed to inspect the detected object using the image information provided based on one or more reference objects and to provide a corresponding inspection result for the object in question.
A method of optically inspecting objects, the method comprising:
- providing an object to be inspected in a measuring area;
- optically detecting the object to be inspected by means of one or more detection units;
- providing image information of the detected object by means of the one or more detection units;
- inspecting the detected object using the provided image information based on one or more reference objects by means of a computing unit;
- and
- providing a corresponding inspection result about the object by means of the computing unit.
-15. (canceled).
A system for optically inspecting linear objects, comprising:
- a conveyor device for continuously guiding a linear object to be inspected through a measuring area;
- one or more detection units for optically detecting the linear object in the measuring area and for providing image information of the linear object;
- and
- a computing unit which is designed and programmed to inspect the linear object on the basis of the image information provided and to provide a corresponding inspection result about the linear object,
- the computing unit having at least one recognition module which is designed and programmed to analyze the image information for conformity with and/or deviations from a predetermined good-sample for the linear object to be inspected.
