A flaw detection apparatus detects a flaw formed on an object's surface based on a digital image data indicative of said object's surface as regions which are groups of plural pixels utilizing the image processing technique. An image processor is provided for detecting an extending direction in which each region extends based on a contour line of each region, so that regions extending in the same direction are clustered as one region. The image processor further produces a flaw signal indicating sizes of thus clustered regions.

A flaw detection apparatus detects a flaw formed on an object's surface based on a digital image data indicative of said object's surface as a group of plural pixels utilizing the image processing technique. An image processor is provided for detecting a direction in which each of group extends to combine a plurality of groups extending in substantially the same direction. The image processor further produces a flaw signal indicating sizes of thus combined groups.

An appearance inspecting method includes the steps of dividing a recognized image of an object into regions based on two attributes of image points within the image calculating the minimum distance of each point within a target region to a periphery of the target region, and measuring a size of the target region from the maximum of the calculated minimum distances of the points in the target region. A distance measuring method for measuring a distance of each point within a region to a periphery of the region includes the steps of dividing each region to be measured by lines made of picture elements arranged in one direction, sequentially integrating the distance of each point from the periphery of the region from its outer side to a middle point in each line from one end line to the other end line of the region to thereby obtain the minimum distance of each point, and the distance of each point from the periphery of the region is sequentially integrated from its outer side to the middle point in each line from the other end line to the one end line of the region to thereby obtain the minimum distance of each point.

An external appearance inspection method for electronic components for detecting the presence of unevenness in the outline thereof. An approximately square-shaped outline (1) of an electronic component under inspection is extracted, this outline (1) is differentiated, and the presence of unevenness in the outline (1) is determined according to the absolute value of the difference between the maximum and minimum values (10, 11) of the differential values and the median (12) thereof.

A dot pattern-examining apparatus examines a dot pattern displayed on a display screen by picking up a two-dimensional image of the display screen and by performing image processing with respect to the dot pattern on the two-dimensional image. An image projection data generating section generates image projection data indicative of a set of density values by accumulating, on a predetermined axis, density values of individual dots of the two-dimensional image of the display screen for each line. Then, a run-length data generating section generates run-length data indicative of a set of combinations of an accumulated density value and a length thereof, based on the image projection data of the two-dimensional image. Thereafter, a run-length data matching section compares the run-length data of the two-dimensional image with a reference run-length data indicating a reference dot pattern and generated in advance by the run-length data generating section, to thereby determine a position having run-length data which most match the reference run-length data as the position where the dot pattern to be examined exists.

A method for discerning whether an object to be inspected is acceptable or not is based on feature values with respect to a binary-coded image of the object. The method includes the steps of coding image data of the object into binary digits to obtain the binary-coded image, calculating at least three feature values based on a predetermined sample group of acceptable objects and a predetermined sample group of unacceptable objects, obtaining a Mahalanobis' generalized distance between the sample groups of the acceptable objects and the unacceptable objects with respect to each of the calculated feature values, comparing each of the distances with a first predetermined value and then selecting as a first representative feature value the distance which is not smaller than the first predetermined value, obtaining a Mahalanobis' generalized distance between groups of acceptable objects and unacceptable objects with respect to the feature values except for the feature value selected as the first representative feature value and the first representative feature value, and comparing each of the distances with a second predetermined value and then selecting as a second representative feature value the distance which is not smaller than the second predetermined value, so that it is discerned whether the object is acceptable or not based on the first and/or first and second feature values with respect to the binary-coded image of the object.

Two-dimensional image data of an object is processed to inspect a circular arc configuration of the object. Initially, the two-dimensional image data is subjected to a data extraction process in which image edge points of the circular arc configuration of the object are extracted from the two-dimensional image data. The image edge points are then applied to a process to approximate the circular arc configuration of the object by defining a circle which minimizes a mean value of a fourth power error of the image edge points relative to the circle, the thus defined circle being used to approximate the circular arc configuration of the object.

An image processing method distinguishes an object from within an image area by determining a stable threshold value of light intensity values from within the image area. Received light is converted into image data denoting light intensity values of the received light at a plurality of points from within the image area. A bright portion average value denoting an average of the light intensity values which exceed a predetermined threshold and a dark portion average value denoting an average of the light intensity values which are less than the predetermined threshold are calculated. A new threshold is obtained by applying the bright portion average value and the dark portion average value to a predetermined dividing ratio. The object within the image area is distinguished using the new threshold. The method is also applicable to the use of multivalue thresholds.
