  • Camera and method for checking an alignment of such a camera
    Patent number: 11176708
    Abstract: A method for checking an alignment of a 2D or 3D camera, wherein a reference image is detected and stored in a first preferred alignment of the camera, wherein a current image is detected to check the alignment of the camera, wherein the reference image is provided monochrome with a first color and the current image is provided monochrome with a second color that differs from the first color, and wherein the current image and the reference image are displayed as an image mixing.

  • Camera system for detecting codings
    Patent number: 10798296
    Abstract: A method for operating a camera system for detecting codings, in which positions of contour points of the codings are determined in relation to edges of a search zone of the camera system, wherein a reading reliability of the search zone is determined from a distance of the contour points from the edges of the search zone.
