Due to the image area reduced to the typical container feature, the second stage of the image recognition system already achieves a very precise orientation of each container 2, in particular also with respect to the pre-alignment (with the first stage).

  • Fig. 2 shows by way of example a typical container feature an embossing pattern 16 on a bottle in a nearly frontal view. The edge of the bottle as well as the center of the wrong one is marked with a thin vertical red line. From this frontal view, let the angle of rotation be zero degrees. Of course one defines the zero point of the rotation angle on the basis of the symmetry of the embossing pattern (thus "in the middle of the embossing pattern"). Along the horizontal test line 17, the points 17.1 - 17.7 are indicated where the embossing intersects the test line 17. These points are referred to below as imprinting points.
  • variable x i denotes the position of an embossed point in a captured image and z i represents the world coordinates on the surface of the bottle.
  • the running index i numbers the individual embossing points.
  • Fig. 3 shows the same embossing pattern with the bottle twisted 24 degrees to the left. The imprints are also marked in this picture. Due to the rotation of the bottle, the position and the distances of the embossing points 17.1 - 17.7 have changed in a characteristic manner. For example, has due to the perspective distortion on the cylindrical bottle body of the visible distance from two adjacent imprinting points, which have nourished the left edge of the bottle, compared to the untwisted state shortened.
  • the position z i of a stamping point is defined by the distance from the bottle center measured measured along the bottle surface.
  • the position z i of the individual embossing points with respect to the center line can now be measured by applying a measuring tape to the bottle body and made available in a list to the recognition algorithm.
  • the formula (2) allows to obtain this information directly from a captured image.
  • the position x i is determined in the image with a known rotation angle.
  • the world coordinates z i on the bottle surface can be determined therefrom by means of formula (2).
  • the learning of an embossing pattern for the recognition algorithm is thereby greatly simplified. As in the FIGS.
  • embossing points 17.1 - 17.7 can be run in a computer program, a user guide in which a user can mark the crossing points of the embossing pattern with a test line 17. With the help of formula (2) can then be clicked immediately Convert screen functions x i to world coordinates z i on the bottle surface.
  • the user can provide the embossing pattern to the algorithm in the form of a list of embossing points 17.1-17.2.
  • the imprinting points z i are determined in world coordinates for a stamping pattern, they can be converted into positions x i seen in the opposite direction for any angle of rotation of the bottle by the formula (1).
  • the recognition algorithm can therefore calculate the positions x i ( ⁇ ) for the given embossing pattern for all possible angles of rotation ⁇ of the bottle.
  • the algorithm can and must hold the associated distribution of the observed positions x i ( ⁇ k ) in memory Do not recalculate them for the pattern search for the next bottle with the same embossing pattern. This can save a lot of computing time.
  • the algorithm has to decide which distribution x i ( ⁇ k ) best fits the situation observed in the image.
  • a method is used which assigns a score S k to each distribution x i ( ⁇ k ). This score is designed to be the larger the better the observed situation fits a distribution.
  • the largest evaluation number S kMax which is achieved for a given image situation, thus defines the angle of rotation ⁇ kMax of the bottle.
  • the brightness curve H (x) along the test line 17 is first determined ( Fig. 6 ).
  • x denotes the pixel position along the horizontal test profile.
  • embossing points are noticeable by significant fluctuations in brightness on a length scale which corresponds to the approximate width of an imprinting point.
  • these brightness fluctuations are also superimposed on other brightness fluctuations, which however all take place on a significantly larger length scale and can thus be separated from the brightness fluctuations caused by embossing points in the following manner: From the brightness profile H (x), a brightness profile H Ave (x) is calculated is smoothed on a length scale, which is well above the width of an imprinting point.
  • the locations b i of the imprinting points in the given image can be identified in this way.
  • the score S k for a distribution of the viewed positions x i ( ⁇ k ) is then calculated as follows: We search for the pair of points b i and x j with the smallest distance.
  • this distance is smaller than a predetermined maximum distance d, then the pair of points found is judged to be suitable, ie it is assumed that the position of the embossing point b i found in the image matches a position of the embossing pattern to the bottle twist ⁇ k . In this case, a bonus contribution is added to the rating number S k . Since the embossing patterns of different bottles are never quite exactly the same, the bottle geometry and the bottle position to the camera are subject to fluctuations during image acquisition, one can never assume an exact match of a pair of points b i and x j . Therefore, the maximum distance d requires that the points be sufficiently close together.
  • FIG. 7 shows for that in the FIG. 3 Example shown the dependence of the score S k as a function of angle. It is evident that there is a sharp peak at approximately -24 degrees, ie the seen points pattern best x j corresponds to the j b dot pattern with a bottle rotation angle of -24 degrees.
  • the invention has been described above by means of an embodiment. It is understood that numerous changes and modifications are possible without thereby departing from the inventive idea underlying the invention.
  • the first stage of the image recognition system two cameras 8 and 9 and the second or third stage each have only one camera 10 and 11 respectively.
  • the number of cameras in these stages may also be chosen differently, but it is necessary, but at least advisable, for the first-stage camera system to detect as large a peripheral area as possible of the container 2 passed by.
  • the cameras 8, 9, 10 and 11 are each designed and / or driven in such a way that they are each created an image or an image data set of each container 2 passed and then the pre-alignment (in the first stage) on the basis of this image data set. , the pre-adjustment (in the second stage) and the fine adjustment (in the third stage) by comparison with the respective image data.
