System, operation cell, method, product manufacturing method, and marker for locating operation position

An operation position locating system which locates a position on a product where an operation is performed in a manufacturing process of the product including one or more operations to be performed using a tool, comprising:

• an operation completion coordinates detection unit detecting a set of operation completion coordinates in which an operation completion position as a position where the operation is completed is represented by a first coordinate system;
• a parameter determination unit detecting a position and direction represented by the first coordinate system of the product or an object having a predetermined positional relation with the product, thereby determining a parameter value required to coordinate transformation between the first coordinate system and a second coordinate system based on the product;
• an operation position locating unit obtaining a set of operation coordinates in which an operation position as a position where the operation is to be performed is represented by the second coordinate system on each of the one or more operations, transforming coordinates using the parameter to represent the operation completion position and the operation position by a same coordinate system, and locating the operation position corresponding to the operation completion position.

An operation cell corresponding to a process including one or more operations to be performed using a tool in a manufacturing process of a product including one or more processes, comprising:

• an operation completion coordinates detection unit processing a plurality of images obtained by capturing from a plurality of viewpoints a range including an operation completion position as a position on which an operation is completed when the operation is completed, thereby detecting a set of operation completion coordinates representing the operation completion position;
• and
• an operation position locating unit obtaining a set of operation coordinates representing an operation position as a position on which the operation is to be performed on each of the one or more operations, and locating the operation position corresponding to the operation completion position based on the set of operation completion coordinates and the one or more obtained sets of operation coordinates.
