Abstract: Information concerning a height of a shape of a workpiece is acquired accurately at high speed. A plurality of segments arrayed in one direction are set on a distance image including height information in a surface shape of a workpiece (S1). A type of a representative value concerning height information in each pixel included in each segment is selected, and this selected representative value is obtained for each segment (S2). An abnormality in a specific representative value is detected from an acquired trend, and is outputted (S4).

Abstract: There is provided a test support system having facilitated association of an execution log with processing of each unit in a case of creating a control program by blocking a series of processing procedure into a plurality of units, the system being configured such that a program creation apparatus generates a control program for an image processing controller based upon a flowchart generated by arranging the processing units, including an image pick-up unit and a measurement unit, on an execution flow, the image processing controller includes the log collecting section holds an execution log in association with the processing unit constituting the control program.

Abstract: There is provided a program creation apparatus capable of displaying a camera image showing a measurement result in accordance with a position of an object to be tested, the apparatus including: a flow chart generating section for arranging processing units on an execution flow, to generate a flowchart; a program generating section for generating a control program for an image processing controller based upon the flowchart; and a display pattern generating section for associating screen components with processing units inside the flowchart and also arranging the screen components on an editor screen, to generate a display pattern in order to display a result of image processing.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus is made up of a processing target area specification section for specifying a processing target area; a circumferential direction specification section for specifying the circumferential direction of a contour circle in the processing target area; an edge detection region specification section for specifying three or more regions made different in position in the circumferential direction in the processing target area as edge detection regions based on the processing target area and the circumferential direction; an edge position identification section for identifying edge positions with respect to the radial direction based on the intensity distribution in the edge detection regions; and a contour circle determination section for determining a contour circle based on the edge positions identified relative to the edge detection regions.
