IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, IMAGE PROCESSING SYSTEM, AND GUIDANCE APPARATUS THEREFOR

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image processing apparatus and an image processing system with which processing such as conveyor tracking can be easily implemented even in a production line in which a general-purpose robot is disposed, and a guidance apparatus therefor.

SOLUTION: The image processing apparatus includes: a management means for managing position information of a workpiece on a conveying apparatus; an obtaining means for performing measurement processing on an image obtained by image capturing with an image capturing unit and thereby obtaining position information of a region corresponding to a pre-registered workpiece in the image; an update means for updating the position information of the workpiece managed by the management means to values corresponding to a timing when the image capturing unit has performed image capturing; an identifying means for identifying a workpiece newly conveyed into the image capturing range of the image capturing unit by comparing the position information that has been updated by the update means and the position information of the workpiece obtained by the measurement processing; and a transmitting means for transmitting position information of the workpiece identified by the identifying means to a control apparatus.
