Abstract

See full text

Method for detecting marks (3) present on a paper web (1), which consists of successively producing and preferably recording light-intensity data in the form of intensity indications, using two alternate set-point values of light intensity representative of the presence of a mark or a non-mark. The method uses a process, deciding whether a certain light-intensity indication (V(new)j), shall be attributed to a mark, by selecting as a set-point value (V(old)j), one of the two alternate set points, either the nearest preceding indication (V(old)j) which has been adjudged as indicative of a non-mark and which essentially indicates light background of the paper web (1), or a preceding indication (V(old)j) which has been adjudged as indicative of a non-mark and which has been subjected to an intensity reduction of pre-determined magnitude (UP). There is also an apparatus for carrying out the method.
