Abstract
A method for manufacturing a spark plug including a reference standard imaging step of imaging a plurality of reference standards to obtain a plurality of reference images, each reference standard having a reference part with a predetermined known dimension; a reference standard measuring step of measuring a measured dimension or a measured number of pixels of the reference part in the plurality of reference images; a regression line deriving step of obtaining a regression line by the least squares method from: the measured dimension or the measured number of pixels of the plurality of reference standards; and the known dimensions; and a determining step of determining whether a target part in a target image is within a predetermined range based on a correction value obtained by correcting a measured dimension of a target part by using a relational expression describing the regression line.
