To automatically determine a plurality of positions and postures of a sensor for detecting a positional displacement of a component of each facility in a manufacturing line, and reduce the number of steps of adjusting a positional displacement.SOLUTION: In an adjustment support system having an operation unit and a storage unit, the storage unit holds sensor information including information on the characteristics of a sensor for imaging a target and imaging target information including information on the size, the shape, and the arrangement of the imaging target of the sensor. The operation unit generates a plurality of candidates of imaging positions and imaging postures of the imaging target of the sensor, determines whether the sensor can detect a displacement of plural directions of the imaging target from an image taken by the sensor on the basis of the sensor information and the imaging target information for each candidate of the imaging position and the imaging posture, and determines at least one imaging position and imaging posture for the sensor to actually take the imaging target from the plurality of imaging positions and imaging postures on the basis of the result of determination.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】製造ライン内の各設備の構成要素の位置ずれを検出可能な複数のセンサ位置・姿勢を自動的に決定し、位置ずれ調整の工数を削減する。【解決手段】演算部と、記憶部と、を有する調整支援システムであって、記憶部は、対象を撮影するセンサの特性に関する情報を含むセンサ情報と、センサによる撮影対象の寸法、形状及び配置の情報を含む撮影対象情報と、を保持し、演算部は、センサによる撮影対象の撮影位置及び撮影姿勢の複数の候補を生成し、撮影位置及び撮影姿勢の複数の候補の各々について、センサ情報及び撮影対象情報に基づいて、撮影対象の複数方向の位置ずれをセンサによる撮影画像から検出可能か否かを判定し、判定の結果に基づいて、撮影位置及び撮影姿勢の複数の候補から、センサが実際に撮影対象を撮影するための１以上の撮影位置及び撮影姿勢を決定する。【選択図】図１
