Abstract
The crane device includes: a camera provided on a hook; a camera control unit which controls an image-capturing operation of the camera on the basis of control information for operating a carrying element; and an image processing unit which processes a captured image that has been captured with the camera. The camera captures an image of the carrying destination of a baggage. The image processing unit takes, as a reference area, an arbitrary area in the image captured with the camera, generates a correction image obtained by projecting the captured image onto a plane that is parallel to the reference area and is perpendicular to an arbitrary direction with the baggage used as a viewpoint, calculates a current position of the baggage in the correction image, and displays the current position in a visually recognizable mode.
