Claims (10)

  1. Bogennachweisvorrichtung mit:
    einem ersten Bildsensor, der konfiguriert ist, um Reflexionsbilddaten eines Bogens während des Transports auf einem Transportweg zu erfassen;
    einem zweiten Bildsensor, der so konfiguriert ist, dass er Transmissionsbilddaten des auf dem Transportweg transportierten Bogens erfasst; und
    einer Steuerung, die dazu konfiguriert ist, basierend auf den Reflexionsbilddaten und den Transmissionsbilddaten das Vorhandensein oder Fehlen des Bogens zu erkennen,
    wobei die Steuerung ferner konfiguriert ist:
    um die Reflexionsbilddaten und die Transmissionsbilddaten zu binarisieren, um binarisierte Reflexionsbilddaten bzw. binarisierte Transmissionsbilddaten zu erzeugen;
    um eine ODER-Verarbeitung an den binarisierten Reflexionsbilddaten und den binarisierten Transmissionsbilddaten auszuführen, um ODER-verarbeitete Bilddaten zu erzeugen;
    um die äußere Form des Bogens basierend auf den ODER-verarbeiteten Bilddaten zu erkennen; und
    um Umrissinformationen eines ODER-verarbeiteten Bildes auszugeben, das aus den ODER-verarbeiteten Bilddaten abgeleitet ist.
  2. Bogennachweisvorrichtung nach Anspruch 1,
    wobei sich der erste Bildsensor und der zweite Bildsensor einen Lichtempfangssensor teilen.
  3. Bogennachweisvorrichtung nach Anspruch 1,
    wobei sich der erste Bildsensor und der zweite Bildsensor eine Lichtquelle teilen.
  4. Bogennachweisvorrichtung nach einem der Ansprüche 1 bis 3,
    wobei die Steuerung konfiguriert ist:
    um ein 2D-Reflexionsbild und ein 2D-Transmissionsbild aus den Reflexionsbilddaten bzw. den Transmissionsbilddaten zu erzeugen; und
    um die äußere Form und/oder das Vorhandensein oder Fehlen des Bogens basierend auf dem 2D-Reflexionsbild und dem 2D-Transmissionsbild zu erfassen.
  5. Bogennachweisvorrichtung nach einem der Ansprüche 1 bis 4,
    wobei die Steuerung konfiguriert ist, um die äußere Form und/oder das Vorhandensein oder Fehlen des Bogens basierend auf Daten jeder Zeile der Reflexionsbilddaten und Daten jeder Zeile der Transmissionsbilddaten, entsprechend den Daten jeder Zeile der Reflexionsbilddaten, zu erkennen.
  6. Bogennachweisvorrichtung nach einem der Ansprüche 1 bis 5,
    wobei der erste Bildsensor und der zweite Bildsensor konfiguriert sind, um Licht mehrerer Wellenlängen einschließlich Infrarotlicht auf den Bogen aufzubringen.
  7. Bogennachweisvorrichtung nach einem der Ansprüche 1 bis 6,
    wobei der Bogen ein Basismaterial aufweist, das ein Polymer oder ein Verbund aus Papier und einem Polymer ist.
  8. Bogennachweisvorrichtung nach einem der Ansprüche 1 bis 7,
    wobei die Steuerung konfiguriert ist:
    um die äußere Form oder das Vorhandensein oder Fehlen des Bogens durch Vergleichen der Reflexionsbilddaten und der Transmissionsbilddaten zu erfassen;
    Pixelwerte von Pixeln der Transmissionsbilddaten mit einem ersten vorbestimmten Schwellenwert zu vergleichen und jeden Pixel mit einem Pixelwert, der niedriger als der erste vorbestimmte Schwellenwert ist, als Medium-vorhanden zu bestimmen, und jeden Pixel mit
    einem Pixelwert, der nicht niedriger ist als der erste vorbestimmte Schwellenwert als Medium-fehlend; und
    Pixelwerte von Pixeln der Reflexionsbilddaten mit einem zweiten vorbestimmten Schwellenwert zu vergleichen und jeder Pixel mit einem Pixelwert, der nicht niedriger als der zweite vorbestimmte Schwellenwert ist, als Medium-vorhanden zu bestimmen, und jeder Pixel mit einem Pixelwert, der niedriger ist als der zweite vorbestimmte Schwellenwert als Medium-fehlend.
  9. Bogenhandhabungsvorrichtung mit der Bogennachweisvorrichtung nach einem der Ansprüche 1 bis 8.
  10. Bogennachweisverfahren mit:
    einem ersten Schritt des Sammelns von Reflexionsbilddaten eines auf einem Transportweg transportierten Bogens;
    einen zweiten Schritt des Sammelns von Transmissionsbilddaten des auf dem Transportweg transportierten Bogens; und
    einen dritten Schritt des Erfassens des Vorhandenseins oder Fehlens des Bogens basierend auf den Reflexionsbilddaten und den Transmissionsbilddaten,
    wobei der dritte Schritt umfasst:
    Binarisieren der Reflexionsbilddaten und der Transmissionsbilddaten, um binarisierte Reflexionsbilddaten bzw. binarisierte Transmissionsbilddaten zu erzeugen;
    Ausführen einer ODER-Verarbeitung an den binarisierten Reflexionsbilddaten und den binarisierten Transmissionsbilddaten, um ODER-verarbeitete Bilddaten zu erzeugen;
    Erfassen der äußeren Form des Bogens basierend auf den ODER-verarbeiteten Bilddaten; und
    Ausgeben von Umrissinformationen eines ODER-verarbeiteten Bildes, abgeleitet von den ODER-verarbeiteten Bilddaten.
