Abstract:
A recording system for a visual inspection device, said recording system comprising:a line sensor camera moving, relative to an object to be inspected, in a moving direction intersecting a direction of arrangement of pixels, while shooting the object to be inspected, and outputting a line image;an accumulator for successively accumulating respective line images, each of which extends in the direction of arrangement of pixels, so as to be sequentially arranged in the moving direction;a controller for performing control such that whenever line images corresponding to lines of one frame by an image recording unit are accumulated in the accumulator in a state arranged in the moving direction, the accumulated images are divided, in the direction of arrangement of pixels, by a number which is obtained by dividing the number of pixels of the line sensor camera by the number of pixels of one frame of the image recording unit, and plane images obtained by division are outputted from the accumulator;a signal converter for converting the plane images, which have been obtained by division, sequentially and chronologically into image signals for the image recording unit; andsaid image recording unit for recording the image signals for the image recording unit, which have been obtained by conversion, onto an image recording medium.
