Abstract
An apparatus for detecting an attitude of electronic components. The electronic components include an electronic component having a plurality of terminals. The apparatus includes a storage and an image processor. The image processor is configured to: extract a binarized image from an image acquired by an imaging device; perform image matching between a terminal in the binarized image and a terminal in a model image to extract attitude candidates of image matching; obtain coordinates of a corner part of the plurality of terminals from the binarized image of the electronic component; select an attitude candidate from among the attitude candidates of image matching; and output the attitude candidate as a detected attitude of the electronic component.
