Recommended installation position and posture of a stationary code reader can be proposed to a user to facilitate installation work of the code reader by the user. An installation support device for the stationary code reader acquires camera information including a camera parameter of the code reader, code information to be read, and environment information including a conveying speed of a line, determines required field of view and depth of the code reader required to read a code under an environment specified by the environment information, and determines an installation pattern which is recommended installation position and posture of the code reader that can satisfy the required field of view and depth based on the camera information and the code information.

Read data of a plurality of optical information reading devices can be compared on a spatial axis. A setting device includes: a communication part for communicating with each of the optical information reading devices; a display part that displays a list of pieces of read data, conveyor, of any one of a plurality of optical information reading devices; an input part that receives an input for selection of any one piece of read data from the list of pieces of read data displayed on the display part; and a control part that acquires a code image having the read data selected by the input part from another optical information reading device connected to the network, and performs comparison display, on the display part, of a plurality of the code images respectively acquired by different ones of the plurality of optical information reading devices.

Setting device for optical information reading device, optical information reading system, and optical information reading method

The optical information reader includes an imaging part configured to capture a plurality of images at predetermined timing until code reading results in success or a reading process times out, and an output part configured to output information on timing at which the optical information reader receives the trigger signal, success or failure information on code reading, and the plurality of images captured by the imaging part, and success or failure information representing whether the reading process performed by a decoder results in success or failure and the plurality of images captured in response to the trigger signal are associated with the trigger signal, and, with a list of reading results corresponding to a plurality of the trigger signals displayed on a display part.

Optical information reader, optical information reader system, and error cause analysis method

Inputs of a plurality of images constituting a group of images of items regarded as non-defective items are accepted and stored, and a defect threshold for detecting a defective portion of an inspection object and a determination threshold for making a non-defective/defective determination are set based on the plurality of stored images. A defective item image which is an image of an item determined as a defective item is previously stored and when an input of an image newly acquired by capturing an inspection object is accepted, non-defective item learning processing is performed by use of a plurality of stored images including the image whose input has been accepted, to at least reset the defect threshold. A defective portion is re-detected based on the reset defect threshold, to determine whether or not the stored defective item image is an image of a defective item based on the set determination threshold.

Visual inspection device, visual inspection method, and computer program

In an image processing device, a contour image generation section extracts edge points according to image data acquired by an image acquiring section, and generates a contour image of a object formed out of the edge points; a first fitting line generation section conducts fitting of line of a predetermined shape to the object on the contour image according to the contour image, and generates a first fitting line; an effective edge point region generation section generates an effective edge point region in which the first fitting line has a width and a region in the line width is made to be the effective edge point region; and a second fitting line generation section generates a second fitting line formed out of a line of a predetermined shape according to the edge points in the effective edge point region on the contour image.
