Abstract: Provided is a method for inspecting containers with closures. The closures have a cap portion, a circumferential edge extending around the mouth of the containers, and a rotationally symmetrical element arranged in a region of the mouth of the containers. The closure ends in a longitudinal direction of the container above the rotationally symmetrical element. The containers are transported along a transport path by a transport device, and the mouth regions of the containers are transported with the closures which are illuminated by an illumination device. At least one image recording device records at least two spatially resolved images of a portion of the circumferential edge and rotationally symmetrical element and of the mouth regions of the containers provided with the closures. A value is derived from the images of relative position of the closure to the container and the information and/or value is corrected relative to a position of the rotationally symmetrical element.

Abstract: A method for inspecting containers with closures with a cap portion and a circumferential edge extending around the mouth of the containers. The containers are transported along a transport path by a transport device. During transport, the mouth regions of the containers with closures are illuminated by an illumination device, and at least one image recording device records at least one image of the mouth regions of the containers with closures, and records at least one spatially resolved image of a portion of the circumferential edge and one structure on the circumferential edge is detected, and, at least one value of this structure, a value characteristic of a relative position of the closure relative to the container and/or relative to the rotationally symmetrical element and/or of the closure is determined.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for inspecting containers, wherein the containers are transported along a predetermined transport path using a transport device and are inspected using an inspection device, wherein the inspection device records at least one spatially resolved image of a container to be inspected using an image recording device and an image evaluation device evaluates this image. According to the invention, data of a model of this container are used to evaluate this image.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a motor vehicle comprising a sensor assembly for a 360° detection of the motor vehicle surroundings. The sensor assembly has multiple sensors of the same type, wherein each of the multiple sensors has a specified detection region and the sensors are distributed around the exterior of the motor vehicle such that the detection regions collectively provide a complete detection zone which covers the surroundings in a complete angle about the motor vehicle at a specified distance from the motor vehicle. The sensors are each designed to detect the surroundings in their respective detection region as respective sensor data in respective successive synchronized time increments. The sensor assembly has a pre-processing mechanism which fuses the sensor data of each of the sensors in order to generate a three-dimensional image of the surroundings for a respective identical time increment and provides same in a common database.
