Abstract

An image processing method includes: detecting a plurality of feature lines from a first image captured from a first position; specifying, based on a positional relationship between the plurality of feature lines and a plurality of projection lines generated by projecting each of a plurality of line segments onto the first image, a feature line representing a defective portion of a shape of an object; setting a plurality of candidate positions based on the first position, each of the plurality of candidate positions being a candidate for a second position at which a second image is captured; calculating an evaluation value of each of the plurality of candidate positions; determining any of the plurality of candidate positions based on the evaluation value of each of the plurality of candidate positions; and outputting first information to be used in recognition of the determined candidate position.
