A method for determining a position of an object moving along a conveyor belt. The method includes measuring the position of the conveyor belt while the conveyor belt is moving using a motor encoder and providing a measured position signal of the position of the object based on the measured position of the conveyor belt. The method also includes determining that the conveyor belt has stopped, providing a CAD model of the object and generating a point cloud representation of the object using a 3D vision system. The method then matches the model and the point cloud to determine the position of the object, provides a model position signal of the position of the object based on the matched model and point cloud, and uses the model position signal to correct an error in the measured position signal that occurs as a result of the conveyor belt being stopped.

A robot system includes a conveyor, a robot, a speed calculation circuit, and a robot control circuit. The conveyor is configured to convey a workpiece at a conveyance speed. The robot is configured to work on the workpiece while the workpiece is conveyed by the conveyor. The speed calculation circuit is configured to calculate the conveyance speed. The robot control circuit is configured to control a working speed of the robot according to the conveyance speed calculated by the speed calculation circuit.

An image processing apparatus includes: an image signal processing circuit formed by a rewritable logic circuit and configured to perform signal processing on an image signal according to a type of the endoscope; a display image processing circuit formed by a rewritable logic circuit and configured to generate a display image signal corresponding to a display mode of a display apparatus; and a control circuit configured to control the display image processing circuit to perform configuration, control the image signal processing circuit to perform configuration according to a type of the endoscope, when replacement of the endoscope with another endoscope is detected after the configurations are performed, control the image signal processing circuit to perform reconfiguration according to a type of said another endoscope, the display image processing circuit does not perform reconfiguration when the replacement is detected, and control the display apparatus to display a display image.
