Abstract

This appearance inspection method for goods is on a to-be-inspected object including: a planar tray having a front surface provided with colorless and transparent pockets each of which having a support that supports the to-be-inspected object through contact with the to-be-inspected object so as to extend along an outer periphery of the to-be-inspected object, the pocket having a space formed in an area in which no contact with the to-be-inspected object occurs; first cameras being capable of imaging the to-be-inspected objects from the front surface side and the back surface side of the tray; and a second camera capable of imaging the to-be-inspected objects from four side surfaces other than the front surface and the back surface. The to-be-inspected objects are imaged from the front surface and the back surface of the tray by the first cameras and imaged from the four side surfaces by the second camera.
