Image processing apparatus and image processing method using compressed image data or partial image data

摘要

Provided is an image processing apparatus capable of viewing even a characteristic portion of an inspection object even if partial image data of the inspection object is used for inspection. The image processing apparatus includes: an imaging portion for imaging an inspection object; a compression processing portion for executing compression processing on image data captured by the imaging portion, to generate compressed image data; and an image processing portion for executing image processing for an inspection. The image processing portion generates partial image data as part of the captured image data, and accepts a selection of any of the compressed image data and the partial image data as the image data for use in the image processing. The image processing portion executes the image processing for the inspection by use of the compressed image data or the partial image data, the selection of which has been accepted.

1. An image processing apparatus comprising:
an imaging device including a camera module configured to acquire an image of an inspection object; and a display device in communication with the imaging device, adapted to display an image acquired by the camera module, and adapted to accept a user input, wherein the imaging device further includes: a compression processing portion configured to compress an image acquired by the camera module to generate a compressed image; a partial image generating portion configured to extract a part of an image acquired by the camera module to generate a partial image; an inspection condition data setting portion configured to set, based on the user input, a magnification of a reference image to be displayed on the display device, configured to control the display device to display the reference image at the magnification, and configured to set a parameter, an image processing tool and a trigger condition, wherein the parameter which represents the magnification of the reference image corresponding to an image to be processed is set, wherein the image processing tool which represents a type of image processing is set, based on the user input, on the reference image displayed at the magnification on the display device, and wherein the trigger condition specifies a timing for the camera module to acquire an inspection image of an inspection object; a memory for storing the parameter, the image processing tool, and the trigger condition set by the inspection condition data setting portion; and an image processing portion configured to control at least one of the compression processing portion and the partial image generating portion to process an image generated by the at least one of the compression processing portion and the partial image generating portion, wherein the image processing portion processes the compressed image generated from the inspection image acquired at the stored trigger condition with the stored image processing tool when the stored parameter is set as a first magnification of the reference image, and the image processing portion processes the partial image generated from the inspection image acquired at the stored trigger condition with the stored image processing tool when the stored parameter is set as a second magnification of the reference image higher than the first magnification.
