Abstract

See full text

There is provided a pattern model creating method in image processing, which allows selection of an appropriate contour in accordance with an object image, the method being a pattern model creating method in image processing for positioning by searching an object to be searched that is similar to a pre-registered image out of an image to be searched by use of a pattern model corresponding to the registered image, the method including: extracting a plurality of edge points from the registered image; creating a plurality of continuous chains by coupling adjacent edge points among the plurality of extracted edge points; eliminating a chain with a length not larger than a predetermined length among the plurality of chains; selecting chains sequentially from the smallest chain among the remaining chains; and regarding aggregation of the selected chains as a contour extracted from the registered image, to construct a pattern model for positioning.
