Abstract

The invention relates to a measuring arrangement (10) and a method for measuring a segment transition (U1, U2, U3) and / or a length (L1, L2, L3, L4) of a segment (S1, S2, S3, S4) and / or the presence of a segment (S1, S2, S3, S4) of a rod-shaped article (A) for the tobacco processing industry, which has several segments (S1, S2, S3, S4) arranged side by side along its longitudinal axis (L). The measuring arrangement (10) comprises a conveyor drum (20) for conveying rod-shaped articles (A) transversely and axially and a lighting device (30) with several light sources (31) that transmit light onto a lateral surface (M) of the rod-shaped article (A) held in the receiving area (21) in the radial direction (AR) of the rod-shaped article (A) through the rod-shaped article.At least one of the light sources (31) emits monochromatic or nearly monochromatic and / or colored light or dichroic or nearly dichroic and / or colored light. The measuring arrangement includes an image acquisition device (40) for capturing an image of the lateral surface (M) of a rod-shaped article (A). The measuring arrangement includes an image processing unit (50) with which the image captured by the image acquisition device (40) is evaluated as a function of the light emitted from the rod-shaped article (A) and with which a segment transition (U1, U2, U3) and / or a length (L1, L2, L3, L4) of a segment (S1, S2, S3, S4) and / or the presence of a segment (S1, S2, S3, S4) of a rod-shaped article (A) is determined.
