Abstract
A three points range of high brightness and a four points range of high brightness in a photographed image are selected. It is checked if an identical end point is shared by the three and four points range selected. It is checked if a center of gravity corresponding to the identical end point, a center of gravity corresponding to another end point of the three points rage opposite to the identical end point, and a center of gravity corresponding to another end point of the four points range opposite to the identical end point, meet a positional relationship between standard points of a target.
