Claim One:
1. A method for processing a material, wherein the material is located on a carrier, and wherein, by irradiation with a laser beam, the material is cut and/or an object of the material is transferred from the carrier to a collection device, comprising the following steps: generating an image of at least a part of the material on the carrier, automatically evaluating the image in order to identify predetermined structures in the image, automatically selecting a region of the image on the basis of the identified structures, determining characteristic geometrical quantities of the selected region, and generating control signals for automatically cutting the material and/or transferring the object on the basis of the characteristic geometrical quantities of the selected region, wherein characteristic geometrical quantities of the selected region comprise a circumferential line of the selected region which is defined with respect to the carrier, wherein the characteristic geometrical quantities of the selected region comprise a section curve which is calculated on the basis of the circumferential line of the selected region.
