A method of measuring an object by means of at least one first laser scanner is described which detects measured values for a plurality of measurement points, wherein only measured values which lie above a predefined threshold value are used for measuring the object. The method is characterized in that threshold values are determined separately for at least two ranges of measurement points of the laser scanner or laser scanners and the threshold value used for a measurement point is selected in dependence on a quality criterion.

Method of measuring an object

An object geometry measurement apparatus () for the dynamic generation and transmission of geometrical data of objects () moved on a conveying device () is set forth, wherein the apparatus has a first optoelectronic sensor () which is made for the detection of the object geometry in a section of the object () with reference to intervals and/or of the remission behavior, as well as a first control () which can calculate geometrical data from the object geometry of each section and can output them via a first interface. In this respect, the first control () is made to adapt the information density of the output geometrical data to a measure for changes of the object geometry from section to section.

Method and apparatus for the dynamic generation and transmission of geometrical data

The invention relates to a method and to an apparatus for the detection of objects moved on a segmented conveyor means by means of an optoelectronic sensor, in which in each case the geometric center of the objects is determined via the optoelectronic sensor, whereupon the objects are each associated with that conveyor segment in the region of which the respectively determined geometric center is located. The invention further relates to a method and to an apparatus for the determination of the dimensions of objects moved on a conveyor means by means of an optoelectronic sensor, in which the dimensions of the objects are detected and corresponding. object-related values are supplied, and in which the optoelectronic sensor additionally also detects the dimensions of the conveyor means and supplies corresponding, conveyor means-related values, with conveyor means tolerances and/or hollow spaces possibly present between the object and the conveyor means being compensated by an offsetting of the object-related values with the conveyor means-related values.
