Abstract
A household appliance includes a treatment chamber for treating material, a pattern luminaire designed to radiate a light pattern into the treatment chamber, an image sensor directed into the treatment chamber for capturing the light pattern reflected from the treatment chamber, and a motor operably connected to the pattern luminaire for rotating the pattern luminaire into different angles of rotation so as to enable the household appliance to determine at least one item of contour information from material irradiated by the light pattern from at least two reflected light patterns associated with different ones of the angles of rotation of the pattern luminaire.
