Abstract:
1. A parts recognition data preparing method applied to a device, which recognizes electronic parts based on image data obtained by picking up an image of the electronic parts, for preparing parts recognition data in which recognition conditions of the electronic parts are recorded, said method comprising the steps of: inputting information of a body and electrodes of an electronic part; identifying an electronic part type based on the inputted information of the body and the electrodes of the electronic part; selecting, based on the identified electronic part type, a recognition algorithm that recognizes the electronic part, wherein the recognition algorithm is adaptive to the identified electronic part type; automatically extracting electronic part shape data, which are required for a recognizing process executed by the recognition algorithm; grouping the electrodes for every side of an outer periphery of the body to create a plurality of electrode groups; excepting electrodes that are overlapped among respective electrode groups; wherein the step of grouping includes the steps of: excepting electrodes that are present on an opposite side to a selected side from the electrode group that corresponds to the selected side; ranking the electrodes in the electrode group that corresponds to the selected side according to their respective positions on the electronic part; and extracting at least one of the electrodes in the electrode group that corresponds to the selected side based on a result of the step of ranking.
