Abstract: A manufacturing method of press-molded article of the present invention comprises a step of placing a member to be pressed in a press molding apparatus and a step of pressing a flat plate portion of the member to be pressed by bringing a first press portion and a second press portion closer to each other. A first opposing surface and a second opposing surface, while facing to each other, keep in contact with the flat plate portion during pressing. In the press step, a thick part is formed on the flat plate portion by allowing a part of a material of the flat plate portion to flow, in a press direction, into a thickened portion-forming section formed on the first opposing surface. The second opposing surface is moved to the press direction as the flat plate portion is pressed by the first press portion and the second press portion.

Abstract: An imaging means acquires an imaged image in a predetermined imaging range for each predetermined frame rate. An image processing means performs image processing on image data of the image captured by the imaging means. A first setting means (S420) sets the imaging means to image a predetermined first range in the imaging range with a predetermined first frame rate. A second setting means (S430) sets the imaging means to image a second range, which is a part of the imaging range imaged by the imaging means and is narrower than the first range, with a second frame rate higher than the first frame rate. A determination means (S420) selects one of the first setting means and the second setting means depending on process contents that the image processing performs.
