ABSTRACT:
In an inspection of a substance in which a first region is made of black resin and a second region is made of a metal, a portion surrounding the first region is registered as a first imaging range, and a portion surrounding the second region is registered as a second imaging range. As an imaging condition for the first region, a relatively slow shutter speed is registered such that an image does not become dark. Further, as an imaging condition for the second region, a relatively fast shutter speed is registered such that an image does not have unduly high white levels. As such, the imaging range and condition set by a user are supplied to a CCD camera, and then image processing is performed on a captured image from the CCD camera by an image processing device main body.
