Abstract
In a position recognizing method and an apparatus, an edge is detected by scanning a one-dimensional model including an edge to be recognized and one-dimensional edge detecting data of an image obtained via a camera so as to determine the difference between the density of the pixel of the one-dimensional model and the density of the corresponding pixel of the one-dimensional edge detecting data and the geometric balance therebetween. Then, the amount of data for detecting the edge becomes smaller and the pattern or parts can be recognized without controlling the binary level and at a high speed.
