Abstract
An image acquisition system includes a feeding unit supplying a product, a product pickup platform onto which the product is supplied by the feeding unit, and a camera capturing an image of the product on the product pickup platform. The camera identifies a position and an angle of the product based on the image. The image acquisition system includes a robot gripping the product from the product pickup platform based on the position and the angle identified by the camera and an image acquisition platform onto which the product is placed by the robot. An imaging microscope of the image acquisition system captures an image of a surface of the product facing upwards on the image acquisition platform and a computer stores the image of the surface of the product captured by the imaging microscope.
