Abstract: Both improvement of a degree of freedom in selecting the model of the imaging device and improvement in accuracy of the image inspection are achieved by causing an imaging device conformable to a standardization standard to perform multi-stage processing in order. A setting device specifies a combination of values of a plurality of selectors for realizing multi-stage processing set by a user on a user interface, and transmits the values of the selectors and register information to the imaging device. The imaging device stores the values of the selectors in a location indicated by the corresponding register information, and sequentially executes the multi-stage processing specified by the combination of the values of the selectors.

Abstract: Accuracy of image inspection is improved by causing an imaging device conformable to a standardization standard to combine a plurality of captured images. A setting device transmits a setting content for realizing a combination setting set by a user on a user interface and register information indicating a location where the setting content is stored, to the imaging device. The imaging device stores the setting content in the location indicated by the corresponding register information, and executes the combination processing for combining the plurality of captured images.

Abstract: An exposure time is changed stepwise, a light receiving amount output from a light receiving section is obtained at each exposure time, which is changed stepwise, and height image data, in which each pixel value indicates a height of each portion of a surface of a measuring object, is generated based on the obtained light receiving amount. It is determined whether each pixel constituting each height image is valid or invalid based on the obtained light receiving amount. An exposure time, which corresponds to a height image in which the number of pixels determined to be valid satisfies a predetermined condition, is set as a set value.
