Abstract:
A water content evaluation apparatus which evaluates water content of a part of an object is provided. A water content at each of irradiation positions of the part of the object is calculated based on a first reflection light of a laser reference beam, having a first wavelength that is not absorbed by water, that is reflected at all the irradiation positions of the object and a second reflection light of a laser measuring beam, having a second wavelength that is absorbed by water, that is reflected at all the irradiation positions of the object. Irradiation positions of the object in which the water content is equal to or larger than at least one predetermined threshold level are output.

Claim (Index 19):
A water content evaluation method for a water content evaluation apparatus, the water content evaluation apparatus evaluating water content of a part of an object, the water content evaluation method comprising:\n covering a back surface of the part of the object with a background material, the part of the object being set as an evaluation target of the water content evaluation apparatus; causing a first light source to radiate a laser reference beam of a first wavelength toward irradiation positions which comprise the part of the object that is set as the evaluation target and the background material, the laser reference beam of the first wavelength not being absorbed by water; causing a second light source to radiate a laser measuring beam of a second wavelength toward the irradiation positions, the laser measuring beam of the second wavelength being absorbed by water; identifying, by a controller, the part of the object that is set as the evaluation target based on a first reflection light of the laser reference beam that is reflected at the irradiation positions of the part of the object and a second reflection light of the laser measuring beam that is reflected at the irradiation positions of the part of the object; calculating water content of the part of the object that is set as the evaluation target at each of the irradiation positions of the object based on the first reflection light of the laser reference beam that is reflected at all the irradiation positions of the part of the object and the second reflection light of the laser measuring beam that is reflected at all the irradiation positions of the part of the object; and outputting irradiation positions of the object in which the water content is equal to or larger than at least one predetermined threshold level.
