Abstract:
1. A method of generating a non-stop image measuring program for image measurement including moving an imaging means relative to a measurement stage supporting a measuring object while irradiating the measuring object with strobe illumination and capturing instantaneous image information about the measuring object at designated measurement positions without making a stop of the imaging means, the method comprising steps of: moving the position of the imaging means relative to the measurement stage based on a stage movement instruction input; adjusting the amount of light illuminating the measuring object by flashing the strobe illumination at a certain cycle repeatedly and adjusting the pulse width of the strobe illumination based on an illumination adjustment instruction input; and generating the measuring program for image measurement including fetching positional information about the imaging means relative to the measurement stage and information about the pulse width of the strobe illumination based on a certain instruction input, irradiating the measuring object while passing through the position indicated by the fetched positional information, with the strobe illumination of the pulse width fetched at that position, and capturing instantaneous image information about the measuring object.
