  • Patent number: 9998683
    Abstract: An image processing device is connected to an imaging unit. The imaging unit has an overlapping region in an imaging range before and after continuous imaging. The image processing device includes: an interface that receives a plurality of captured images obtained by the imaging unit; a measurement unit configured to acquire a measurement result of a subject in the captured image by performing measurement processing to the captured image; a synthesis unit configured to generate a synthesized image by synthesizing the plurality of captured images such that the captured images overlap with one another within an overlapping range corresponding to the overlapping region in imaging order; and an output unit configured to output the synthesized image, information indicating the overlapping range correlated with the synthesized image, and information indicating the measurement result.

  • Patent number: 9571795
    Abstract: An image processing device includes: an image receiving part configured to receive an image of a target workpiece on a surface of a conveying path captured by means of the imaging unit; a position acquiring part configured to acquire a position of the target workpiece in the captured image; a tilt acquiring part configured to acquire, by using the position of the target workpiece in the captured image acquired by means of the position acquiring part, a tilt angle of an imaging plane of the imaging unit relative to the surface of conveying path; and an outputting part configured to output assistant information used for assisting in the adjustment of the posture of the imaging unit by using the acquired tilt angle.

  • Patent number: 7747718
    Abstract: The control system setting apparatus is composed of a computer, comprising a processor, storage device, input device, display, and an interface connectable to a control system. The storage device stores therein a setting program 30 and a setting data 40. Component profile data is stored in a CPS 43 of the setting data 40. The component profile data is prepared for each component. The setting program makes the processor execute the following processes: When the input device is operated to select a network and a component to be used, a network constitution editor 33 checks for adaptability between the network and the component based on the component profile data. On condition that the component is adaptable to the network intended to connect the component, a network block diagram is created using a network icon to show the selected network and a component icon to show the selected component, and then displayed on the display.
