Abstract
A method and apparatus are provided for automatic application and monitoring of a structure to be applied onto substrate. A plurality of cameras positioned around an application facility are utilized to monitor the automatic application of a structure on a substrate by means of a stereometry procedure. Three-dimensional recognition of a reference contour position results in the overlapping area to be used for gross adjustment of the application facility prior to applying the structure.

40. A method for recognizing a structure to be applied onto a substrate, the structure at least one of an adhesive line and an adhesive trail, having at least one camera, comprising:
-
acquiring by means of a single scan of a reference application structure a teach-in of the reference application structure; storing a sequence of camera images of said reference application structure; and recording a strip of the image to form a part of a sequence of images. - View Dependent Claims (41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64)

65. An apparatus for recognizing a structure to be applied onto a substrate, the structure comprising an adhesive line or adhesive trail, comprising:
-
an illumination module; and a sensor unit having a plurality of cameras, wherein the cameras are configured around a facility for applying the structure, wherein the cameras form an essentially circular caliper whose center is formed approximately by a facility for application of the structure, and each camera is configured to be directed at the circle around the application facility whose center point approximately coincides with the center point of the application facility. - View Dependent Claims (66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 75, 76)
