Abstract:
A method for locating a printing substrate moving on a conveyor surface. The method includes i) providing the printing substrate moving on a conveyor surface at a selectable speed and in a feed direction, ii) providing an illumination means configured to emit a light beam incident on the conveyor surface according to a predetermined angle, iii) acquiring a predetermined plurality of lines of the substrate, as a function of a line frequency defined as a function of an acquisition rate, iv) generating a primary image as a function of the predetermined plurality of lines, v) detecting, from the primary image, points representative of the substrate, and vi) calculating location coordinates of the substrate relative to the first predefined reference as a function of the plurality of representative points.

Claim (Index 1):
A method for locating a printing substrate moving on a conveyor surface, the method comprising:\n (a) providing said printing substrate moving on a conveyor surface at a selectable speed and in a feed direction; (b) providing illumination means for illuminating the printing substrate, configured to emit a light beam incident on the conveyor surface according to a predetermined angle, wherein the light beam generated appears as a linear stripe orthogonal to the feed direction; (c) acquiring a predetermined plurality of lines of said printing substrate in movement, as a function of a line frequency, said line frequency which is defined in turn as a function of an acquisition rate; (d) generating a primary image as a function of said acquired predetermined plurality of lines acquired in step (c); (e) detecting, from said primary image, a plurality of points, representative of said printing substrate,\n wherein the coordinates of said plurality of points are expressed in relation to a first predefined reference; and \n (f) calculating location coordinates of said printing substrate relative to said first predefined reference as a function of said plurality of representative points.
