A defect inspection apparatus obtains a color image signal of an inspection target. Based on a plurality of signal components forming this color image signal, a plurality of analysis images are obtained. Defect detection of an inspection target is implemented for each of the a plurality of analysis images. A differential is detected for a defect nomination detected for each of the analysis images, and thereby whether a plurality of defects exist or not in successive defect positions of the inspection target is determined. |
