Abstract
A method for detecting the position of a conveyor, comprising the steps of: providing on the conveyor belt an irregular marking, constituted by marks and the like that are detectable optically; by means of a vision device, detecting portions of the marking at preset time intervals; comparing a detection performed by the vision device with a previously performed detection, in order to determine the extent and direction of the movement.

A method for detecting the position of a conveyor, comprising the steps of:
- providing on said conveyor an irregular marking, constituted by marks and the like that are detectable optically;
- by means of a vision device, detecting portions of said marking at preset time intervals;
- comparing a detection performed by said vision device with a previously performed detection, in order to determine the extent and direction of said movement wherein said step of detecting portions of said marking is preceded by a step of detecting all of said marking in order to obtain a complete mapping of said marking.
A system for detecting the position of a conveyor, comprising a conveyor and a vision system arranged above said conveyor, wherein said conveyor comprises an irregular marking on its upper surface.
