A dishwasher (100) and a method for treating washware, where the dishwasher (100) comprises a washing cavity (110) configured to receive washware (200), a rack (120) removably inserted in the washing cavity (110), and a washware recognition system (300) configured to detect a washware characteristics (310) for each washware (200) in the washing cavity (110). The washware recognition system (300) comprises two image capturing devices (320, 330) capturing at least one first, second and third image (321, 331, 332) of the washware in the rack (120), a neural network (340) configured to, based on the at least one first (321), second (331) and third images (332), determine a washware characteristics (310), and a control unit (360) configured to evaluate the washware characteristics (310) and determine a washware treatment cycle (350) based on the washware characteristics (310).
rivendicazioni
