Method for detecting containers which have fallen over and/or are damaged in a container mass flow, wherein the containers in the container mass flow are transported vertically on a transporter, wherein the container mass flow is captured as an image data stream using at least one camera, and wherein the image data stream is evaluated by an image processing unit, wherein the image data stream is evaluated by the image processing unit using a deep neural network in order to detect and locate the containers which have fallen over and/or are damaged.

Described herein are apparatus and methods for orthographic imaging of particles. Particularly, a method to obtain contact-free images of aerosol particles with digital holography from three orthogonal directions is described and demonstrated. Diode lasers of different wavelengths simultaneously illuminate free flowing particles to form holograms on three sensors. Images of the particles are reconstructed from the holograms and used to infer the three-dimensional structure of single spherical particles or clusters of sphere-like particles. The apparatus employs inexpensive components and requires no lenses to achieve the imaging, which gives it a large sensing volume and simple design.

A method for obtaining a handwriting trajectory is provided. The method includes the following steps: capturing images of handwriting that is written with a writing brush on a piece of paper on a writing platform; obtaining positions where pixels in each of the images are lower than a threshold according to the threshold; and outputting handwriting images according to the positions.
