Abstract
An alignment system includes an image processor to detect an identification target included in a workpiece from a captured image of the workpiece, and an operation controller to control a driver to move the workpiece based on actual coordinates of the identification target detected by the image processor. The image processor determines within the captured image a search range partially covering the captured image and having a predetermined size based on position information generated based on an output from a position sensor in the driver, and detects the identification target from a portion of the captured image corresponding to the search range.
