Abstract:
An image inspection apparatus includes an imaging section including a light-condensing optical system configured to condense reflected light of illumination light and a line camera for receiving the reflected light, an imaging inclination sensor capable of outputting, a direction orthogonal to a Z axis and parallel to an arranging direction of imaging elements is represented as an X axis, and a direction orthogonal to the X axis and the Z axis is represented as a Y axis, values indicating inclinations of the X axis, the Y axis, and the Z axis of the imaging section with respect to a horizontal direction or a gravity direction, and a display control section for causing a display section to display figures or values indicating degrees of at least any two inclinations among the inclinations of the X axis, the Y axis, and the Z axis of the imaging section.

Claim (Index 18):
An image inspection method for performing a visual inspection of an inspection target object, the image inspection method comprising:\n causing an imaging inclination sensor provided in an imaging section to output, when a direction parallel to an optical axis of a light-condensing optical system is represented as a Z axis, a direction orthogonal to the Z axis and parallel to an arranging direction of imaging elements is represented as an X axis, and a direction orthogonal to the X axis and the Z axis is represented as a Y axis, values indicating inclinations of the X axis, the Y axis, and the Z axis of the imaging section with respect to a horizontal direction or a gravity direction; causing, on the basis of the values indicating the inclinations output from the imaging inclination sensor, a display section to display figures or values indicating degrees of at least any two inclinations among the inclinations of the X axis, the Y axis, and the Z axis of the imaging section; and irradiating illumination light on the inspection target object from an illuminating section, condensing, with the light-condensing optical system provided separately from the illuminating section, reflected light of the illumination light irradiated on the inspection target object from the illuminating section and reflected on the inspection target object, and receiving, with a line camera in which a plurality of the imaging elements are arrayed to be linearly arranged, the reflected light condensed by the light-condensing optical system.
