Abstract

A mechanism to produce projection images A- G representing a model extraction region and an image sensing region is incorporated in an image sensing unit of an image processing apparatus. A control unit receives an image from image sensing unit to calculate density deviation within the model extraction region. The calculated result is output to a level display unit . When the operator determines the position of image sensing unit so that projection images A, B and C representing the model extraction region are projected distinctly on the pattern of the subject to be registered and a high level value is displayed by level display unit and depresses a teach button switch , image data within the current model extraction region is registered as the model image.
