Abstract

A device for the contactless optical determination of the position of an object. In particular, the present invention provides a method and device for the contactless optical determination of the 3D position of an object wherein an image of the object is generated by means of a camera and the 3D position of the object is calculated from the camera image based on the image information about detected geometrical characteristics. Determination of the 3D position of the object includes determination of the 3D position and the 3D orientation of the object.
