Abstract: A subject is imaged repeatedly and color images of the subject are obtained. A color histogram is generated from the color subject image obtained and a representative color is decided from the color histogram generated. A specific color range that can be considered a color identical with the representative color is decided from the color histogram and representative color.

Abstract: An image for a left eye and an image for a right eye are respectively captured. A corresponding point corresponding to each of a plurality of feature points detected from the image for a left eye is searched for using the image for a right eye. The number of corresponding points found by the search is counted, and it is determined whether to be equal to or more than a predetermined ratio with respect to the number of pixels of the image for a right eye. When the number of corresponding points is determined to be less than the predetermined ratio, the image for a right eye is recaptured, and the corresponding point search process and the determination of whether the number of corresponding points is equal to or more than the predetermined ratio are re-executed using an image new for a right eye obtained by recapture.

Abstract: Provided is an eddy current inspection device, an eddy current inspection probe and an eddy current inspection method that make it possible to detect defects existing in deeper parts of test objects. Three or more odd number of excitation coils are arranged at even intervals in a circumferential direction on a postulated circumference. Excitation currents applied to the excitation coils are controlled so that the phase difference between excitation currents applied to adjacent ones of the excitation coils arranged in the circumferential direction on the postulated circumference equals one cycle divided by the number of excitation coils. A magnetic field generated according to an eddy current occurring in the test object due to a magnetic field caused by the application of the excitation currents to the excitation coils is detected by use of a detector arranged on a postulated plane containing the postulated circumference but inside the postulated circumference.
