Abstract: An image processing device includes: a first scan of first area of an image acquired on the basis of reflective light of light emitted to the outside of a mobile body in first direction; a first determination of whether or not a first condition is satisfied on the basis of result by the first scan; a second scan of second area of the image in second direction different from the first direction in a case in which the first determination determines that the first condition is satisfied; a second determination of whether or not a second condition is satisfied on the basis of result by the second scan; a third scan of third area of the image after the second determination determines that the second condition is satisfied; and a third determination of whether or not predetermined information is included in the third area scanned by the third scan.

Abstract: This autonomous moving robot is an autonomous moving robot for reading a sign disposed along a movement path using an imaging unit mounted therein and being guided and moving in accordance with the sign. The autonomous moving robot includes a calculation unit having a limited-range search mode. In the limited-range search mode, a first scanning range is set in a part of a captured image captured by the imaging unit on the basis of a registration position of the sign and the sign is searched for in the first scanning range.

Abstract: This image processing device includes: a detection object including cells having first cells capable of reflecting emitted light and second cells incapable of reflecting the emitted light, the cells being squares or rectangles, the first cells and the second cells being arranged in an a×a or a×b (where a, b=3, 4, 5, 6, . . . ) matrix on a two-dimensional plane; and a detector including: an illuminator emitting light; imagers imaging, by a camera, light reflected from the first cells after the first cells and the second cells constituting the detection object are illuminated with the light emitted from the illuminator; and a calculator obtaining information set on the detection object 11, based on imaged data items taken by the imagers. Such a configuration can accurately identify a compact marker and measure the distance, and achieve a system inexpensively.
