Abstract
Provided is a position and attitude estimation method and system in which the Z coordinate value of each index point Pis estimated according to the size ϕof each index area Aof a work W acquired through an imaging devicehaving an optical axis parallel to the Z axis of a real space. Based on the Z coordinate value Zof each index point P, the first real space attitude θof an index straight line Qpassing through paired index points Pand Pis estimated. A light beamis irradiated to a first index point Pamong a plurality of index points Pby using an irradiation device, thereby forming and defining a first index area A, which includes the first index point P.
