  • a reflective surface 27 does not necessarily have to be arranged parallel to the other surface 02 of the material 01, as indicated by a dashed line in FIG. 3 and a solder 28 orthogonal to it.
  • the arrangement of the image sensor 06 and its associated illumination source 21 is preferably determined by the orientation of the largest surface portion of the surface 27.
  • Figs. 1 and 4 show a device with several, z. B. two illumination sources 21, which can be selectively used.
  • the evaluation unit 07 controls z. B. the control device 23, whereby a switchover between the illumination sources 21 takes place.
  • the illumination sources 21 each have different angles ⁇ 1 with their respective optical axis 22; ⁇ 2 to the surface 02; 27 of the material 01 on.
  • the right in Fig. 4 illumination source 21 is preferably suitable for illuminating a shiny, reflective surface 02; 27, since with respect to the surface 02; 27 and the optical axis 16 of the image sensor 06 is arranged under the provision of incident angle equal to the angle of reflection, whereas the left in Fig. 4 illumination source 21 is more for illuminating a rough, matte Surface 02; 27 is suitable.
  • an evaluation of at least one image acquisition of the image sensor that is not required to generate the signal 08 can be performed Be used 06 that the proposed device automatically to a condition of the surface 02; 27 of the material 01 adapts. If the evaluation of at least one image acquisition of the image sensor 06 which is not required to generate the signal 08 results in the image of the structure 03 being overexposed or underexposed on the image field of the image sensor 06, the evaluation unit 07 can be used for example. B. adjust the brightness of the illumination source 21 or the flash duration or, optionally, alternatively, the exposure time of the image field of the image sensor 06 automatically.
  • the evaluation unit 07 can eg. B. switch between the multiple, controlled by her lighting sources 21 and one for the currently present surface 02; 27 of the material 01 bring more suitable illumination source 21 used, which thus for the currently present surface 02; 27 of the material 01 produces the highest image contrast for the structure 03 imaged on the image field of the image sensor 06.
  • This automatic adaptation of the proposed device is preferably carried out before the next required for generating the signal 08 image acquisition. Due to the automatic adaptation, the proposed device becomes a self-learning system.
