Abstract:
A defect inspection method includes: acquiring an image of an inspection pattern obtained by an imaging device, detecting an edge of the inspection pattern in the image, dividing the image into an inspection region and a non-inspection region, using the detected edge as a boundary thereof, performing image processing only on the inspection region to determine the intensity value distribution in the image, and detecting a defect in the inspection pattern based on the obtained intensity value distribution.
