Abstract
Film thickness measured values obtained by measurement in advance at a plurality of points on a measurement preparation substrate and coordinates corresponding to the film thickness measured values are acquired. A pixel value at each coordinates is extracted from a preparation imaged image obtained by imaging the measurement preparation substrate in advance by an imaging device. Correlation data between the pixel value extracted at each coordinates and the film thickness measured value at each coordinates is generated. A substrate being a film thickness measurement object is imaged by the imaging device to acquire an imaged image, and a film thickness of a film formed on the substrate being the film thickness measurement object is calculated on the basis of a pixel value of the imaged image and the correlation data.
