Abstract

An image recognition processor for an industrial device, the image recognition processor implementing, on an integrated circuit thereof, the functions of storing an image data processing algorithm, which has been determined based on prior learning; acquiring image data of an image including a predetermined pattern; and performing recognition processing on the image data based on the image data processing algorithm to output identification information for identifying a recognized pattern.

Claims (19)

1. An image recognition device comprising:

an image recognition processor removably replaceable to a corresponding socket, the image recognition processor storing an image data processing neural network, which has been determined based on prior learning,

the image recognition processor storing the image data processing neural network configured to accept image data captured by a camera,

the image recognition processor storing the image data processing neural network configured to output identification information corresponding to a classification of a target to be recognized, and an arrangement area of the target in an image of the image data, and

wherein the image data processing neural network has learned in advance for each classification of the target.

2. The image recognition device according to claim 1 , wherein the image recognition processor storing the image data processing neural network is further configured to output the arrangement area by outputting in the image through processing of the image data.

3. A picking system comprising:

an image recognition processor removably replaceable to a corresponding socket, the image recognition processor storing an image data processing neural network, which has been determined based on prior learning,

the image recognition processor storing the image data processing neural network configured to accept image data captured by a camera,

the image recognition processor storing the image data processing neural network configured to output identification information corresponding to a classification of a target to be recognized, and an arrangement area of the target in an image of the image data,

wherein the image data processing neural network has learned in advance for each classification of the target;

wherein the image recognition processor storing the image data processing neural network is further configured to output the arrangement area by outputting in the image through processing of the image data;

the picking system further comprising:

a socket receiving an image recognition processor;

a camera;

a robot; and

an operation planning unit,

wherein the camera outputs the image data captured to the socket,

wherein the operation planning unit plans and outputs specific operation instructions to be performed by the robot based on the identification information and the arrangement areas input from the socket.
