置を正確に求めることができる。 Further, reference numeral 20 in FIG. 3 is a running body, which is configured to freely run within the area to be monitored. A television camera 21 is mounted on the traveling body 20, and the television camera 21 is configured to photograph the valve 1, the meter 10, etc. And this TV camera 21
The image signal taken by the camera is configured to be sent by wire or wirelessly to a signal processing circuit 22 installed in an operation room or the like. The signal processing circuit 22 is configured to display images taken by the television camera 21 on a display mechanism such as a CRT (not shown). Further, this signal processing circuit 22 is provided with color filters 23a and 23b. For example, the color filter 23a extracts only the image signal corresponding to the red reflected light from the monitoring identification marks 5 and 13, and the color filter 23a 2
3b is configured to extract only the signal corresponding to the blue reflected light from the reference identification marks 6, 7, 14, and 15. The signals extracted by these color filters 23a and 23b are sent to coordinate detection circuits 24a and 24b, respectively. These coordinate detection circuits 24
a and 24b are composed of a counter and a time measuring circuit, and by counting the number of horizontal synchronization signals from the time when the frame synchronization signal is received until the signal corresponding to the reflected light is obtained, the vertical direction of the mark is determined. The X coordinate in the horizontal direction is determined by determining the time from the horizontal synchronizing signal to the signal corresponding to the reflected light using a time measuring circuit. The coordinate signals from these coordinate detection circuits 24a and 24b are sent to an arithmetic circuit 25.
is configured to be sent to. The calculation circuit 25 calculates the state of the objects to be monitored, such as the opening indicator 2 and the pointer 11, from the relationship between the positions of the monitoring identification marks 5, 13 and the reference identification marks 6, 7, 14, 15. It is configured. That is, since the stopping position of the traveling body 20 is not constant, the image taken by the television camera 21 is not constant, but simply the position of the surveillance identification marks 5, 13 attached to the opening indicator 2 and the pointer 11 on the image. These positions cannot be determined just by detecting them. However, as described above, by determining the positional relationship between the monitoring identification marks 5, 13 and the reference identification marks 6, 7, 14, 15, the positions of the opening degree indicator 2 and the pointer 13 can be determined accurately.

(3). Therefore, from the coordinates of the monitoring identification mark 5 and the reference identification marks 6, 7, the position of the monitoring identification mark 5 with respect to the reference identification marks 6, 7 is determined. Therefore, the position of the opening indicator 2, that is, the valve opening M is determined by the following equation: M=l/l 0 (4).

In this case, first check the monitoring identification mark 13 on the guideline 11.
If the maximum value Ymax and minimum value Ymin of the Y coordinate are calculated from the signal corresponding to the reflected light from the
Ymax), (X 4 , Ymin). In addition, the X and Y coordinates of the reference identification marks 14 and 15 are (X 0 , Y 0 ),
