Provided is an environment for providing information for supporting adjustment of the respective parts for positioning. A position detecting apparatus includes: an image processing unit that detects, through image processing, a position of a feature portion from image data imaged and acquired when the feature portion of an object is positioned at the respective target positions by a moving mechanism; a position storage unit that stores the detected positions detected at the target positions in association with the respective target positions; and a display data generation unit that generates data for displaying information related to the detected positions on a display unit. The display data generation unit generates data for displaying the respective target positions and the respective detected positions, which are stored in association with the target positions, in the same coordinate space.

Position detecting apparatus and computer-readable recording medium

An appearance inspection device that can easily determine optimum values of various imaging parameters is provided. An appearance inspection device includes: a moving means which changes relative positions of at least two or more portions within a work-piece, an imaging part, and an illumination part; an imaging processing part which performs, in a state that the illumination part irradiates a light to the work-piece, a processing for changing imaging parameters and taking a plurality of images by the imaging part under a condition that plural types of imaging parameters with mutually different properties are variably set, the plural types of imaging parameters including a change of the relative position between the work-piece and the imaging part caused by the moving means; and a parameter determining part determining a set of optimum values of the plural types of imaging parameters that are set variably based on the plurality of taken images.

Appearance inspection device, appearance inspection method and program

A position control systemacquires image data obtained by imaging a workpiece, detects a position of the workpiece on the basis of the image data by first detection processing, outputs a control command for controlling the position of the workpiece in a case in which the position of the workpiece has been detected, detects the position of the workpiece on the basis of the image data in accordance with second detection processing that is more robust than first detection processing in a case in which the position of the workpiece has not been detected, and outputs a control command for controlling the position of the workpiece on the basis of a result of the detection in the second detection processing.

Position control system, position detection device, and non-transitory recording medium

A positional calibration is enabled between an imaging device and a stage structure including X and Y stages that move independently of each other. An image processing apparatus performs the positional calibration of a camera coordinate system for an imaging device with a stage coordinate system using a reference position in a first image coordinate space indicating a position of a mark in an image captured when an X-stage is at a reference position, a displaced position in the first image coordinate space indicating a position of the mark in an image captured when the X-stage is at a first displaced position to which the X-stage moves in X-direction from the first reference position, and a virtual position in the first image coordinate space indicating a position of the mark in an image calculated using the characteristic value of a Y-stage.

Image processing apparatus, calibration method, and calibration program

An image processing device is connected to an imaging unit. The imaging unit has an overlapping region in an imaging range before and after continuous imaging. The image processing device includes: an interface that receives a plurality of captured images obtained by the imaging unit; a measurement unit configured to acquire a measurement result of a subject in the captured image by performing measurement processing to the captured image; a synthesis unit configured to generate a synthesized image by synthesizing the plurality of captured images such that the captured images overlap with one another within an overlapping range corresponding to the overlapping region in imaging order; and an output unit configured to output the synthesized image, information indicating the overlapping range correlated with the synthesized image, and information indicating the measurement result.

Image processing device and image processing program

A computer displays an image of an object which has been created by photographing by a photographing portion in a setting mode. Further, height threshold-value data is received according to an input from outside through a key board. Based on height information detected from the image created by photographing and based on the received threshold-value data, a partial image having height information specified by the threshold-value data is extracted from the image created by photographing and then is displayed. In a driving mode, the computer displays an image acquired by photographing the object, and extracts a partial image having height information specified by the threshold-value data, based on the height information detected from the image created by photographing and the threshold-value data preliminarily-received in the setting mode. The image data extracted in the driving mode is utilized for inspections of defects in the object.
