Abstract:
1. A sensor device for spectrally resolved capture of detection radiation remitted or emitted from a value document traveling along a transport path, the sensor device comprising: a capture area through which the value document passes when transported along the transport path; an illumination device configured to selectively illuminate a face of the value document with an illumination radiation when the value document passes the capture area; a detection device arranged to detect, in at least one predefined spectral detection range and in a spectrally resolved manner, detection radiation remitted or emitted from said face of said value document when the value document is illuminated with the illumination radiation; at least one reference radiation device arranged to emit reference radiation toward the transport path to detect a motion and/or a position of the value document relative to said capture area, the reference radiation having a spectrum with a structure which is within the predefined spectral detection range and/or has at least one edge within the predefined spectral detection range, the detection device being configured to detect a property of the reference radiation; and a control/evaluation device configured to:
