[origin: EP3040131A1] The present invention relates to a method (100) of sorting articles in a sorting device (1), and such sorting device. The method comprises the steps of providing articles of one or several types on a vibrating plate (20), vibrating said vibrating plate to move the articles to a first transport band (30), transporting the articles by said first transport band in a first speed towards a second transport band (40), transporting the articles by said second transport band in a second speed being faster than said first speed towards a sorting device outlet (2), scanning the shape of each article during the transportation thereof on the first or second transport band using a line scan camera (50), comparing said scanned shape of an article with a predetermined shape, and removing the scanned article from the transport band back to the vibrating plate if the scanned shape do not correspond to the predetermined shape.
