Provided are an inspection method, a program, and an inspection system capable of improving accuracy of inspecting a color of a surface of an object. The inspection method includes acquisition step and comparison step. Acquisition step is a step of acquiring a target image of a surface of an object obtained by an imaging system imaging the surface of the object illuminated by an illumination system. Comparison step, is a step of comparing a color of an attention region on the target image with a color of a reference region. The reference region is a region of a reference image of a surface of a reference object as a reference of a color of the object, and a region corresponding to a combination of an incident angle of light from the illumination system and a reflection angle of light to the imaging system in the attention region.

Inspection method and inspection system

Provided are an inspection method, a program, and an inspection system capable of improving accuracy of inspecting a color of a surface of an object. The inspection method includes acquisition step and comparison step. Acquisition step is a step of acquiring a target image of a surface of an object obtained by an imaging system imaging the surface of the object illuminated by an illumination system. Comparison step is a step of comparing a color of an attention region on the target image with a color of a reference region. The reference region is a region of a reference image of a surface of a reference object as a reference of a color of the object, and a region corresponding to a combination of an incident angle of light from the illumination system and a reflection angle of light to the imaging system in the attention region.

An inspection system includes an acquisition unit and a determination unit. The acquisition unit acquires an image representing a surface of an object. The determination unit performs color determination processing. The color determination processing is performed to determine a color of the surface of the object based on a plurality of conditions of reflection. The plurality of conditions of reflection are obtained from the image representing the surface of the object as acquired by the acquisition unit, and have a specular reflection component and a diffuse reflection component at respectively different ratios on the surface of the object.
