A method is described for the identification and localization of objects, where at least one transponder provided on the respective object is excited to emit transponder data stored in the transponder which characterize the respective object and where the transponder data emitted are detected. The object is additionally scanned by at least one optical sensor. Furthermore, the object is identified and its location determined from a combination of optical data detected by the optical sensor and the transponder data identified. Furthermore, a corresponding apparatus for the performance of the method is described.

Method and an apparatus for the identification and localization of objects

An apparatus and method for the recognition of codes has a light transmitter for the transmission of light signals in the direction of a scanning region, a light receiver for the reception of a light signal remitted from the scanning region, and a control and evaluation unit for the control of the light transmitter and the light receiver and for the determination of a code from the light signal received. The control and evaluation unit includes a trigger circuit triggering the determination of a code and a distance determination unit or image detection unit (which acts on the trigger circuit) for the detection of an object present in the scanning region which is integrated into the apparatus.

Apparatus and a method for the identification of codes

A method of operating a bar code reader ( ) in which one or more bar codes ( ) are detected at different positions (X , X ) within a scanning range of the bar code reader ( ) by the latter, the scanning distance (d , d ) between the bar code reader ( ) and the respectively detected bar code ( ) is found anf the position (X , Y , Z ) and/or the scanning angle (&agr;, &bgr;, &ggr;) of the bar code reader ( ) is foubd from the respectively found scanning distance (d , d ) and from known position data (X , X )of the detected bar code ( ).

Method for determining the position and/or orientation of a bar code reader

A method of reading of a bar code consisting of a predetermined number of code elements for the generation of a binary signal with sequential high/low phases, the length of which correspond to the widths of the sequential code elements. The bar code is sensed by at least two scanning beams from different directions along different scanning lines. At least some of the regions of the bar code are scanned by a scanning beam and are respectively detected as a code segment, and wherein at least some of the detected code segments are selected with respect to predetermined decision criteria and combined for the reconstruction of the scanned bar code. Furthermore an apparatus is described for carrying out the method.
