Abstract

A mirror-following imaging method is for reflecting against a rotary mirror lights from an object to be inspected being carried by conveying means to be incident on imaging means so as to make an image of the object in a frame. The mirror-following imaging method comprises the steps of detecting a positional deflection amount of the image of the object in the frame by the imaging means, anticipating a position for the object to be next imaged at, based on the detected positional deflection amount and a conveying speed of the conveying means, and rotating the mirror corresponding to the anticipated position. The mirror-following imaging method enables the object to be inspected to be correctly followed by the mirror.
