Abstract

An object geometry measurement apparatus (10, 20) for the dynamic generation and transmission of geometrical data of objects (14) moved on a conveying device (12) is set forth, wherein the apparatus has a first optoelectronic sensor (10) which is made for the detection of the object geometry in a section of the object (14) with reference to intervals and/or of the remission behavior, as well as a first control (20) which can calculate geometrical data from the object geometry of each section and can output them via a first interface. In this respect, the first control (20) is made to adapt the information density of the output geometrical data to a measure for changes of the object geometry from section to section.
