  • Patent number: 9405987
    Abstract: A non-contact identification and measurement method for identifying moving three-dimensional objects within an identification area, comprising the steps of detecting the presence of a moving object by scanning said identification area with a first eye-safe laser-based range detector system; discriminating between an object safe to be identified and an object not to be identified; for an object safe to be identified, activating a second laser-camera system and determining the speed and position of said object with said second laser-camera system; when said object safe to be identified reaches a position located in an active measurement area within said identification area, activating a third laser-camera system to acquire range data of said object.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6496254
    Abstract: A method and a device for contactless inspection of objects on a substrate, by means of an inspection device during relative motion between the substrate and the inspection device, wherein the following steps are performed by the method; generating a first image comprising object height information by illuminating at least a portion of the substrate comprising one or more objects by means of first radiator and imaging at least one of said one or more objects illuminated by said first radiator onto a two-dimensional matrix sensor having a portionwise addressable matrix of pixel elements; generating a second image comprising object area information by illuminating at least a portion of the substrate comprising one Or more objects by means of second radiator and imaging at least one of said one or more objects illuminated by said second radiator onto said sensor; extracting the object height information, by means of said sensor, from said first image; and extracting the object area information, by means of s
