Abstract
A position-determining device, and a milking device, that determines a relative position of an object and includes a 3D time-of-flight camera with a 2D arrangement of pixels configured to repeatedly record an image of a space. A control unit is connected and includes an image-processing device. The 3D time-of-flight camera has a controllable light source and is configured to record a 2D image by means of reflected emitted light and collect distance information. The image-processing device is configured to recognize an object in the 2D image using image-processing criteria and determine distance information and relative position by analysing the 2D image and the distance information. Due to the fact that distance information, which is often much more noisy than 2D brightness information, can be determined with far fewer image points, the position is determined more quickly and reliably.
