Abstract

The invention provides an image processing apparatus and an image processing method. Provided is an image processing apparatus which can prevent deterioration in defect detection accuracy. The image processing apparatus includes an imaging unit and an image processing unit. The imaging unit converts a color image imaged by the imaging element to an HDR image based on a conversion characteristic for expanding a dynamic range, to output the HDR image. The image processing unit inversely converts color component values with respect to each pixel of the HDR image outputted from the imaging unit, based on the conversion characteristic, calculates brightness and a ratio of the color component values with respect to each pixel from the inversely converted color component values, and converts the calculated brightness based on the conversion characteristic, to generate a post-correction HDR image based on a ratio of the converted brightness and the calculated color component values.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an image processing apparatus capable of accurately reproducing chromaticity, hue, etc. of a surface of an inspection object thereby preventing deterioration of defect detection accuracy, an image processing method and a computer program executed by the image processing apparatus. Background technique [0002] In the case of performing visual inspection on an inspection object, when an inspection object with a large contrast is imaged, overexposure may occur in a high-intensity region of the imaged image and underexposure may occur in a low-intensity region thereof. In order to avoid overexposure and underexposure in images, HDR processing has been adopted to perform image inspection of inspection objects. [0003] As typical HDR processing, for example, a plurality of images having different exposure times are imaged, and based on the plurality of imaged images, a composite image having a dynamic range wider than that ...
