Abstract
A computer implemented method for determining the stability of an object being transported on a conveyor system in which the conveyor system includes a carrier configured to transport the object in a transport direction of the conveyor system includes the steps of receiving a series of images representing the object on the carrier being transported by the conveyor system, determining a moving direction of the object in the received series of images, and determining the stability of the object by comparing the determined moving direction of the object to the transport direction of the conveyor system. Furthermore, a system includes a control unit configured to perform the above method and a camera.
