Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2006015934A1] The invention relates to a method for determining the type and/or quantity of items to be washed (30) in a dishwasher machine (1). According to said method, the items to be washed (30) are placed in compartments (3, 4) in the washing region (2) of the machine, the loading of said compartments (3, 4) being detected by an image detection system (31, 32, 33). Said image detection system (31, 32,33) measures distances between items in a contactless manner by means of the speed of light in order to obtain a three-dimensional image of the rinsing region (2).
