Abstract

A plurality of image recognizing systems which are distributed and arranged and a centralized control apparatus are mutually connected via transmission lines. Each of the image recognizing apparatuses executes a predetermined image process to the image which is input from the ITV camera and transmits the processed image to the centralized control apparatus. The centralized control apparatus forms tuning parameters which are necessary for the instrumentation control by each image recognizing system from the transmitted processed image and transmits the tuning parameters to each image recognizing system. After the tuning parameters are received, each image recognizing system executes the measuring process. Therefore, for a plurality of image recognizing systems which are distributed at remote locations, the instrumentation control of each image recognizing system can be executed by the centralized control apparatus from one position.
