An image processing system includes: an industrial machine; a visual sensor; a visual pattern arranged on a part to be detected, for identifying a relative positional relationship between the visual sensor and the visual pattern; an image processing unit that determines the relative positional relationship between the visual sensor and the visual pattern on the basis of an image of the visual pattern captured by the visual sensor; and a focusing operation control unit that, with the visual pattern within the field of view of the visual sensor, causes the visual sensor to capture the visual pattern while changing the relative positions of the visual sensor and the visual pattern in a predetermined direction with reference to the visual pattern, on the basis of the determined relative positional relationship to obtain a focus degree of the visual pattern, whereby the visual sensor is focused on the visual pattern.

Image processing system and image processing method

A device to correct a teaching position of a robot includes an orientation change data acquisition section to acquire orientation change data indicating a change amount in an orientation of a workpiece with respect to the robot due to a change of an arrangement, based on first and second position data of the robot, a third position data acquisition section to acquire third position data of the robot when a hand-tip portion is arranged in a predetermined positional relationship with an index in a state where the hand-tip portion is arranged at a second orientation which is corrected by using the orientation change data, and a position change data acquisition section to acquire position change data indicating a change amount in a position of the workpiece with respect to the robot due to the change of the arrangement, based on the first position data and the third position data.

An image processing apparatus includes a graphical image generator that generates a first graphical image and a second graphical image, and a mode switching unit that switches between a first display mode and a second display mode so that a display displays the first graphical image or the second graphical image. Each graphical image includes a color wheel indicating a two-dimensional color space of hue and saturation and a lightness bar indicating a one-dimensional color space of lightness. In the first graphical image, each position in the color wheel and the lightness bar is indicated by the hue and saturation indicated by that position. In the second graphical image, a distribution of colors included in the color image in the color space of hue and saturation or the color space of lightness is superposed on the color wheel and the lightness bar.

Image processing apparatus

Provided is a display device for an industrial machine capable of automatically switching between augmented reality display and 3D computer graphics display. A robot display devicecomprises: a camera; a display unitcapable of switching between a first display by means of 3D computer graphics for a robotor for the robotand peripheralsthereof, and a second display using augmented reality for the robotand the peripheralsthereof captured by the camera; and a selection unitthat activates the first display and displays the first display on the display unit when the cameradoes not face the robot and the peripheralsthereof, and activates the second display and displays the second display on the display unitwhen the camerafaces the robotand the peripheralsthereof.
