Abstract

PURPOSE:To reduce the burden of an operator and to improve operation efficiency by using a television camera photographing an objective substance, an image processing device and a computer executing knowledge processing and automatically monitoring the objective substance without using the knowledge of the operator. CONSTITUTION:The signal photographed by the television camera 13 is sent to the image processing part 17 through a camera cable 18 and processed by the image processing part 17. Then, based on this processing result, the shape and the matter of it is recognized by the computer 18 executing the knowledge processing and the result of it is outputted to a first CRT 20, a second CRT21 and an annunciator 22 incorporated in an operation board 19. That means, after converting the video signal to a digital image and obtaining an image of which altered part is extracted, averag ing, differentiation and noise elimination are executed and the collection data of dot is produced. Then the collection data is compared and collated with vision data required for recognizing the shape by the computer 18, the estimation of the dot data collection is executed and the object is recognized based on the image of which altered part is extracted and the shape recognition result. Thus the burden of the operator can be reduced and danger can be prevented. Besides the operation efficiency can be improved.
