  • Publication number: 20130286396
    Abstract: An inspection device for inspecting an object based on illumination light acting on the object, including a light detection unit that receives the illumination light acting on the object for inspection and is provided with photoelectric conversion units with different spectral sensitivity characteristics, an operating condition determining unit that determines operating conditions for the light detection unit, a measurement control unit that controls the light detection unit in accordance with the operating conditions, and a color estimation unit that estimates color of the object for inspection based on output from the light detection unit controlled in accordance with the operating conditions. The operating condition determining unit determines the operating conditions based on at least one of illumination information relating to the illumination light acting on the object for inspection and object information relating to the object for inspection.
