  • Patent number: 11176661
    Abstract: A memory stores shape information representing a shape of an object. A processor detects a plurality of feature lines from an image of an object that has been captured by an image capturing device in a manufacturing process of manufacturing the object, and produces a plurality of combinations by correlating each of a plurality of line segments in the shape information and each of the plurality of feature lines with each other. Next, the processor performs classification of each of the combinations into an identified combination that has a certain correlation result or an unidentified combination that has an uncertain correlation result.

  • Patent number: 11138759
    Abstract: A processor detects feature lines from an image of an object and generates projection lines by projecting line segments in shape information of the object on the image. The processor generates combinations each including a feature line and a projection line and generates plural sets each including a specific number of combinations. The processor uses each set to estimate a position and an orientation of an imaging device that has captured the image, and evaluates a result of the estimation for each set. When there is a change in a relative position or orientation between the object on the image and a shape represented by the shape information, the processor repeats generation of the plural sets, estimation of the position and the orientation of the imaging device and evaluation of the estimation result. The processor determines the position and the orientation of the imaging device based on the repeated evaluation.
