摘要

Method for monitoring a family (1) of elongated objects (3) located adjacent to one another, such as threads, wires etc., using a light source (7) to illuminate the family of objects (1), a sensor (13) to register an image of the family of objects (1) and an evaluation unit (17) to determine a characteristic variable of the individual objects (3) of the family of objects (1), the sensor (13) simultaneously registering the individual objects (3) of the family of objects (1) for a predeterminable time period and forwarding the image which is picked up of the family of objects (1) to the evaluation unit (17), and the evaluation unit (17) evaluating at least one image of the family of objects (1) to determine the characteristic variable. <IMAGE>
