Abstract: The following processing is performed when a line gang pickup head can simultaneously pick up a maximum of n (here, 4) components. First, groupings of components of the same type, out of all of the components to be optimized, are set as component tapes and the component tapes are arranged descending order of the number of components to produce a component histogram (406a). Next, a partial histogram (400), which is part of the component histogram (406a), is taken from the component histogram (406a), and is arranged at two-dimensional coordinates where a horizontal axis (the Z-axis) represents an arrangement of component cassettes and a vertical axis represents a number of pickup operations by the line gang pickup head. After this, the component tapes are lined up, by arranging the partial histograms (401a and 401b), so as to produce a diagram (406b) whose width (number of components) in the horizontal axis is n (=4).

Abstract: A component recognizing method, and an apparatus for executing the method, for applying light to leads on a mounting surface of an electronic component and executing positional detection of the leads by a height detecting section, comprising a 3-D sensor, on the basis of light reflected from the leads. The method includes limiting a region to be measured by the height detection section so that light reflected from objects behind or near the leads is excluded from the region and processing light reflected from the region, thereby removing the reflected light from objects behind or near the lead.

Abstract: A visual recognition apparatus of the invention can acquire an image exclusive of a background of a subject of image processing, thereby rendering the image of the subject fit for the image processing. More specifically, a mirror-surfaced collar covering a retainer has a specified configuration and a specified positional relationship with a lighting element and a camera such that a light from the lighting element toward the retainer is reflected by the mirror-surfaced collar for deviation from a light path to enter the camera.

Abstract: When an image of an object is recognized, a template having a size smaller than the object is used. First, operation reference points C.sub.s (X.sub.m, Y.sub.n) are set at steps smaller than lengths along the X and Y directions of an image of an object to be recognized, and a template T(x.sub.i, y.sub.i) is set at the operation reference points C.sub.s (X.sub.m, Y.sub.n). Then, an equation, ##EQU1## is operated based on the template T(x.sub.i, y.sub.i) and the image data P(X, Y). Next, candidate points are determined as points having M(X.sub.m, Y.sub.n) larger than a reference value. Then, a position of the image of the object is determined according to the candidate points. Even if an image to be recognized is inclined, the position and the slope of the image can be detected at a fast speed even for image data with noise.

Abstract: In a component detecting method and apparatus, intensity data stored in an intensity data storing device are rearranged in order of increasing intensity data. An intensity data quadratic differential table is formed by quadratically differentiating the intensity data of an intensity profile with respect to a data number of the intensity data. The data number at a zero-crossing point at which a quadratic differential data obtained by quadratically differentiating the intensity data is changed between positive and negative through zero from the intensity data quadratic differential table is detected. A threshold value is determined according to the intensity data of the intensity profile corresponding to the data number at the zero-crossing point.

Abstract: A boundary of leads of an integrated circuit component shown by binary picture elements on a recognition plane of an image display means is detected by a conventional boundary detecting method, and respective corners of the leads are detected on the basis of variation of an angle between a predetermined axis and a line connecting two picture elements having a predetermined distance from each other on the boundary. Moreover, a shape of the lead is recognized on the basis of the shapes of the corners. Subsequently, a search zone containing a tip portion of one lead is set by referring the midpoint of the tip of the lead, and is scanned by horizonal scanning lines and vertical scanning lines. Then segments of both the scanning lines overlapping on the tip portion are obtained, and a protruding direction of the lead is detected referring to a segment touching on a boundary of a search zone. Furthermore, a midpoint of the tip is calculated from coordinate values of plural segments crossing the tip portion.
