Abstract

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung und ein Verfahren zur Erkennung von Behältern und/oder Gebinden wie etwa von Behältern in Gebinden, wie beispielsweise von Flaschen in Flaschenkästen mit einer Beleuchtungseinrichtung und einer Kamera, die so angeordnet und ausgebildet sind, dass Licht der Beleuchtungseinrichtung von Behälter- und/oder Gebindeteilen reflektiert und mit der Kamera aufgenommen werden kann und mit einer zweiten Beleuchtungseinrichtung, mit der Licht so auf die Flächen der Behälter und/oder des Gebindes gerichtet werden kann, dass die Kamera das von diesen Flächen diffus gestreute Licht ohne Störreflexe aufnehmen kann.
