  • Patent number: 11094082
    Abstract: A plurality of verification position/orientation candidates for a target object is set. A common structure model including a geometric feature of a part, among geometric features of a reference model representing a three-dimensional shape of the target object, that is common among the candidates is generated. An image including the target object is obtained. A position/orientation of the target object is estimated by verifying the common structure model and the reference model arranged at the plurality of verification position/orientation candidates, against the image.
