1. An optoelectronic sensor for recognizing object edges of objects moved relative to the sensor, having a light transmission device with at least one light transmitter ( 23 ) for producing a respective collimated or focused transmitted light beam ( 31 ); having at least two light receivers ( 25 ) for imaging a light spot produced on an object ( 11 ) by the respective transmitted light beam ( 31 ), wherein the two light receivers ( 25 ) are arranged on two mutually opposite sides of the light transmission device; and having an evaluation unit ( 39 ) which is designed to compare two received intensities of two images of the respective light spot taken by the two light receivers ( 25 ) with one another and to evaluate a result of the respective comparison, the two images of the respective light spot of the transmitted light beam of the light transmitter taken by the two light receivers defining a sensed image; and wherein the evaluation unit is configured to compare the results of comparisons of at least two sensed images with one another to recognize an object rear edge and an object front edge.
