Abstract
A control device including: an image acquisition unit for acquiring, from a visual sensor, a plurality of images obtained by successively imaging a workpiece; and an object-determining unit for determining, on the basis of the plurality of images, the workpiece that is in a stationary state as an object on which work is to be carried out by industrial machinery.
Claims10
A controller comprising:
- an image acquisition unit configured to acquire, from a visual sensor, a plurality of images of workpieces successively captured by the visual sensor;
- and
- a target determination unit configured to determine a workpiece in a stationary state as a target for work by an industrial machine, based on the plurality of images.
2 The controller according to claim 1, wherein
- the target determination unit
- performs image processing of extracting a moving workpiece, based on the plurality of images, and removing the moving workpiece from a latest image among the plurality of images,
- performs detection processing for detecting a workpiece on the latest image in which the moving workpiece is excluded, and
- determines, as the target for the work, a workpiece detected by the detection processing.
1 more element
The controller according to claim 2, wherein
- the image processing includes mask processing of masking a region including the moving workpiece on the latest image, and
- the target determination unit performs the detection processing on the latest image subjected to the mask processing.
The controller according to claim 2, further comprising
- a setting unit configured to set a parameter used in the image processing, wherein
- the parameter includes at least one of
- a first parameter for setting how many pixels or more a workpiece is moved between successive images among the plurality of images to extract the workpiece as the moving workpiece, and
- a second parameter for setting a size of a margin region needed to be added to, as a region to be excluded from the latest image, a periphery of a pixel region of the moving workpiece.
