  • 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.
    Type: Grant

  • 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: 8831330
    Abstract: This invention provides a parameter determination assisting device and a parameter determination assisting program enabling a more rapid and easy determination of a parameter to be set in a processing device, which obtains a processing result by performing a process using a set of parameters defined in advance on image data obtained by imaging a measuring target object. A user can easily select an optimum parameter set when a determination result and a statistical output are displayed in a list for each of a plurality of trial parameter candidates. For instance, while trial numbers “2”, “4”, and “5”, in which the number of false detections is zero, can perform a stable process, the parameter set of the trial number “2” is comprehensively assumed as optimum since the trial number “2” can perform the process in the shortest processing time length.
