Abstract
In a first defect candidate area detected on the basis of a difference between a value of each pixel in a picked-up image and a value of a corresponding pixel in a reference image and a second defect candidate area detected on the basis of a ratio between a value of each pixel in the picked-up image and a value of a corresponding pixel in the reference image, an overlapping area is detected as a defect area. It is thereby possible to suppress detection of a false defect and detect a defect with high accuracy. In a preferable defect detection part, a shaking comparison part detects a defect candidate area on the basis of a difference in the pixel value between the picked-up image and the reference image, and a false information reducing part limits pixels to be used for obtaining the above ratio to those included in the defect candidate area.
