ABSTRACT:
There are provided a defect detection apparatus, a defect detection method, and a computer program, which are capable of setting an appropriate reference line with respect to a plurality of edge points, to accurately detect a defect based upon a difference of each edge point, and in which a plurality of edge points are detected from an image including an edge of the object, a representative edge point representing the edge points present within a reference range having a prescribed width is calculated in each shifted position of the reference range while the reference range is sequentially shifted, residuals between a plurality of calculated representative edge points and corresponding edge points are calculated, a position and a size of the defect are specified based upon the calculated residuals, and the residuals are weighted and a representative edge point is repeatedly calculated, to obtain an apparent approximate curve (representative-edge-point sequence).
