ABSTRACT:
An appearance inspection apparatus is composed of a memory14, a thread generator and a plurality of CPUs10to13. The memory14stores image data of an appearance of an IC. The thread generator generates a thread in which a procedure is described for independently processing the image data stored in the memory14and storing the processing result into the memory14. The plurality of CPUs10to13for executing the plurality of threads generated by the thread generator, in parallel. Thus, this can provide an appearance inspection apparatus and an appearance inspection method that can execute an appearance inspection at a high speed, irrespectively of a simple configuration.
