    Abstract: An inspection system includes an image processing unit that suppresses noise of a complex number image on which pixels are represented by a complex number indicating a periodic change in a vibration state of an inspection target. The image processing unit acquires a degree of similarity between a pixel included in a target image region defined in the complex number image and a pixel included in a plurality of reference image regions defined in the complex number image separately from the target image region by comparing complex numbers representing pixels, and executes noise suppression processing of the target image region by using a weight based on the acquired degree of similarity.

    Abstract: A displacement measurement device 10 is provided with: a laser light source 11 for emitting laser light to a measurement area R of a measurement target object S; a focusing optical system (the beam splitter 151, the first reflecting mirror 1521, the condenser lens 155) having a front focal point in the measurement area R and a rear focal point on a predetermined imaging surface (the detection surface 1561); a non-focusing optical system (the beam splitter 151, the diffuser 153, the second reflecting mirror 1522, and the condenser lens 155) in which light from a measurement area R of a correspondence point in the measurement area corresponding to each point of the imaging surface with respect to the focusing optical system is incident on the point of the imaging surface; and a photodetector (image sensor 156) configured to detect light intensity on the imaging surface for each point. Thus, corresponding to each of a large number of points in the measurement area R, main reflected light reflected at the point and reference light reflected at the surrounding range of the point are incident on each of a large number of points in the imaging surface, and the main reflected light and the reference light interfere at a large number of points in the imaging surface. Thus, an interference pattern is obtained.

    Abstract: A defect inspection apparatus (100) according to the present invention includes an exciter (1), an irradiator (laser illuminator 2) configured to irradiate an inspection target (8) with laser light, and a measurer (3) configured to change a phase of the laser light reflected by the inspection target (8) to cause the laser light having an unchanged phase to interfere with the laser light having a changed phase, and to measure the interference light. The measurer (3) is configured to acquire an interference image (71) representing a vibration state of the inspection target (8) as viewed in a direction extending along a first light path (21), and an interference image (72) representing a vibration state of the inspection target (8) as viewed in a direction extending along a second light path (22) in which the reflected laser light travels from the inspection target (8) in a direction different from the first light path (21).

    Abstract: In a defect detection device (10), an exciter (11) gives a test object (S) a vibration with a variable frequency. A vibration state measurer (15, 163) performs a measurement of the vibration state of the surface of the test object by an optical means while the vibration is given to the test object, and determines, for each position on the surface, a numerical value representing the vibration state based on a result of the measurement. A judgment-index-value determiner (164) determines a judgment index value by Fourier transform based on the numerical value representing the vibration state at each position, where the judgment index value is a numerical value representing a strength of the vibration for each wavenumber. A wavenumber-wavelength determiner (165) determines, based on the judgment index value determined for each wavenumber, a wavenumber or wavelength of an elastic wave induced in the test object by the vibration.
