Patent number: 11869219Abstract: An inspection support system for erroneous attachment includes an imaging device and an erroneous attachment detector. The imaging device is configured to capture an image that represents a state in which multiple components are attached to each other. The erroneous attachment detector is configured to convert a color space of the image into an HSV color space, create a comparative image on the basis of hue and saturation in the HSV color space, determine whether the multiple components are each a correct component and whether the multiple components are attached in a correct manner by comparing the comparative image with a correct image that is based on the hue and the saturation, and detect the erroneous attachment of at least one of the multiple components, in a case where the at least one of the multiple components is not the correct component and/or is not attached in the correct manner.Type: GrantFiled: December 11, 2020Date of Patent: January 9, 2024Assignee: SUBARU CORPORATIONInventors: Yoichi Sato, Shoichiro Sako, Marosuke Kikuchi
