Arrangement for optically detecting shapes and colours of objects with the aid of image-acquiring systems

The invention relates to an arrangement for optically detecting shapes and colours of objects, in which the light (10a) reflected or scattered by the object is projected via lens systems (2, 12) onto the photocells (1) acting as optical sensors, and converted into electrical signals (16). The arrang...

More Information
Summary:The invention relates to an arrangement for optically detecting shapes and colours of objects, in which the light (10a) reflected or scattered by the object is projected via lens systems (2, 12) onto the photocells (1) acting as optical sensors, and converted into electrical signals (16). The arrangement consists of a matrix arrangement, which is made from large-area, light-sensitive diodes (1), preferably consisting of amorphous silicon, and is coupled on the object side (5 to 8) to a lens system (2, 12), so that it acts as a visual transmitted-light sensor. The diodes (1) are fitted with contact tracks (13, 14) leading to the rim of the matrix arrangement in order to transmit the electric signals (16). The arrangement can be applied, in particular, instead of expensive television systems for manufacturing robots and automatic adjusting and sorting devices.
