Abstract
A photographing scenario generator is configured to generate a photographing scenario being a condition for photographing a workpiece based on a condition set in advance. The illumination adjuster is configured to switch, with an illumination condition of the photographing unit being set to be variable, the illumination condition to each of a plurality of illumination conditions during one-time relative approach or retreat between a photographing part and the workpiece. The omnifocal image creator is configured to create, for each illumination condition, an omnifocal image obtained by evaluating a focus for each local area based on a plurality of pieces of image data having different focal points, which have been acquired through photographing under the same illumination condition, and reconstructing the image data from a combination of in-focus local images.
