Patent number: 8896666Abstract: A board inspection device includes an irradiation device for irradiating light on a printed circuit board, a CCD camera for imaging the irradiated part of the circuit board. First image processing is performed for a first exposure time such that an inspection target region is free of brightness saturation, and second image processing is performed using a second exposure time corresponding to the insufficiency of the first exposure time relative to a certain exposure time appropriate for measurement of a measurement standard region. Thereafter, image data for three-dimensional measurement is prepared for the inspection target region using the value of image data obtained by the first image processing, and image data for three-dimensional measurement is prepared for the measurement standard region using a value obtained by summing the image data value acquired by the second image processing and the image data value acquired by the first image processing.Type: GrantFiled: November 11, 2010Date of Patent: November 25, 2014Assignee: CKD CorporationInventor: Nobuyuki Umemura
