1. A thin glass plate processing apparatus comprising:
a heating part configured to heat-chamfer side wall portions and/or corner portions of a glass plate on a jig as at least a side thereof is heated;
a uniform pressure control part configured to move the heating part adjacent to the glass plate along a processing orthogonal direction so that the heating part heat-chamfers the side wall portions and/or the corner portions of the glass plate while pressing the side wall portions and/or the corner portions with a substantially uniform pressure, the uniform pressure control part including a voice coil motor (VCM);
an imaging part configured to photograph a side of a processing member, the imaging part including a vision camera;

wherein the heating part comprises:
a body portion configured to fix the processing member to a lower side thereof, the body portion having a first rod-shaped body; and
the processing member configured to heat-chamfer the glass plate in contact with the side wall portions and/or the corner portions of the adjacent glass plate by being heated by a high-frequency induction heater, the processing member having a second rod-shaped body, and
wherein only a single processing point of the processing member is configured to be brought into contact with the side wall portions and/or the corner portions of the glass plate.
