Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve the detecting ability principally for a band-shaped defect, etc., by employing an image pickup camera as a camera which has such a innear array image sensor that the longitudinal-lateral shape ratio of one unit element is >=(1:50). CONSTITUTION:The image pickup camera is used as the camera which has the linear image array image sensor 1a whose longitudinal-lateral shape ratio of one unit element 6a is >=(1:50). The image of an element 6a of the sensor 1a corresponds to one unit element equivalent visual field 7 on a running sheet 3 to be inspected. Defects 4 and 5 which are long in a scanning direction are added optically. The accumulation of errors due to electronic addition and a decrease in defect deciding ability are eliminated. Consequently, the detecting ability mainly for the band-shaped defect, etc., is improved.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In Fig. 1, IA is a linear array image sensor in which the aspect ratio of one unit element is 1:50 or more, 8 is the equivalent field of view of the linear array image sensor obtained through the imaging lens 2, and the traveling sheet to be inspected is This is the image above. Therefore, the image of one unit element 6A of the linear array image sensor IA becomes one unit element equivalent field of view 7 on the traveling sheet to be inspected. The defects to be detected in the present invention are mainly band-shaped defects 4, linear defects 5, elliptical defects 10, and the like. These defects are characterized by being long along the running direction 9 of the running sheet. Types of defects include dirt, scratches, discoloration, foreign matter, uneven coating, streaks, doctor lines, etc.

In FIG. 2, IB is a linear array image sensor in which each unit element has a ratio of approximately 1:1. Conventionally, the output signal of approximately square unit element 6B is electronically added in the traveling direction of the inspected material. A processing method was used. The reason for electronic addition is that the optical contrast of the defects to be detected is generally low and stable defect discrimination cannot be achieved by judging only one field of view, so the defect discrimination ability is improved by adding and averaging multiple fields of view in the running direction. It was something. IA is a linear array image sensor used in the present invention, in which the aspect ratio of unit elements is 1:50 or more, and is an aggregation of a large number of rectangular unit elements 6A.

In the present invention using rectangular unit elements, as is clear from FIG. 1, defects that are long in the running direction are optically added. Therefore, the error accumulation due to electronic addition,
There is no decline in defect discrimination ability. Generally, the variation in sensitivity between unit elements becomes larger as the area of the unit element becomes smaller. The reason is that the sensitivity of one unit element is proportional to its area. Therefore, the IJ near array image sensor IA, which has a larger area per unit element, has smaller variations in sensitivity than the IB, which has a smaller area, and therefore has better defect detection ability.
