Abstract
In the first composite step, a plurality of images is superimposed. In the second composite step, a plurality of images of a second surface of the plurality of components is superimposed. In a first detection step, a feature amount of the first surface is detected using the plurality of images superimposed in the first composite step. In a second detection step, a feature amount of the second surface corresponding to the plurality of areas of the first surface is detected using the plurality of images superimposed in the second composite step. A difference in the feature amounts between each area of the first surface and each area of the second surface corresponding to each area of the first surface is calculated. In the determination-area decision step, an area where the difference in the feature amounts calculated in the calculation step is greater than a predetermined value is decided.
