The invention relates to a method and a device for determining at least one mechanical property of at least one object, wherein the at least one object is subjected to at least one interaction which influences a movement state of the at least one object, wherein the at least one interaction is selected such that the movement state effectuated by the interaction is a function of the at least one mechanical property, wherein the at least one object is observed using at least one camera, wherein the movement state is determined from images recorded by the at least one camera and wherein the at least one mechanical property of the at least one object is determined from the movement state thus determined.

Method for determining at least one mechanical property of at least one object

Conveying system for transporting a material flow (M) comprising a large number of individual objects (O, O, . . . ), characterized in that with the conveying system, by means of optical detection of individual objects (O, O, . . . ) in the material flow (M), for these objects (O, O, . . . ) respectively the location position (x(t),y(t)) thereof at several different times (t, t, . . . ) can be determined and by means of the location positions (x(t),y(t)) for these objects (O, O, . . . ) determined at the different times (t, t, . . . ), respectively the location (x(t),y(t)) thereof at at least one defined time (t) after the respectively latest of the different times (t, t, . . . ) can be calculated.

An apparatus for multilateration of a plurality of P objects, each having a transmitter device, and each transmitter device transmitting a signal, the apparatus including N sensors, a processing unit, each sensor receiving the transmitted signals and determining receive times of each signal. The processing unit performing steps: A. combining receive times for signals into a chronologically ordered series of message sets, wherein each message sets comprises the receive times of one of the transmitted signals, B. collecting all valid message sets that occur within a predetermined time interval, wherein k denotes a time step, and wherein each valid message set contains receive times from at least N sensors, C. estimating a time offset vector Ocomprising time offsets Oof the receive times of the N sensors at step k and i=1 to N by processing message sets, and D. outputting a position of the objects.

Method and system for simultaneous receiver calibration and object localisation for multilateration
