Abstract
A vision sensor system is used for gesture recognition or another control system with a human-machine interface. In the vision sensor system, a vision sensor 1 is used in particular to check the presence, the orientation, the characteristics or the texture of an object 15. For this purpose, the vision sensor 1 has a housing 2 in which a light-receiving element 3 is arranged. At a distance from the light-receiving element 3 there is a cover made of a translucent carrier material 5 with a first surface 6 facing the light-receiving element 3 and a second surface 7 facing away from the light-receiving element 3, both located in the beam path 4 of the light-receiving element 3. The carrier material 5 has at least partially a translucent metallic coating 8, 9 on at least one of the first or second surfaces 6, 7 located in the beam path 4 of the light receiving element 3.
