Abstract
According an embodiment, an imaging apparatus includes an image acquiring unit which acquires a judgment image showing arranged judgment targets, and an interval judging unit which judges whether the interval between the judgment targets is proper on the basis of figures of the judgment targets shown in the judgment image.
Claims10
An imaging apparatus comprising:
- an image pickup device which acquires a judgment image of a structure that includes judgment targets of nearly a same shape;
- and
- a processor communicatively coupled to the image pickup device, wherein the processor:
- calculates intervals between the judgment targets of the structure based on the judgment image, and
- judges whether each of the intervals between the judgment targets is within a preset interval based on the calculated intervals;
- wherein the wherein the processor further:
- compares a figure of a reference target which is one of the judgment targets shown in the judgment image with figures of a pair of comparative targets which are the judgment targets adjacent to the reference target, to judge whether each of the intervals between the judgment targets is within the preset interval;
- and
- judges that the intervals between the judgment targets are within the preset interval when a first ratio between a dimension of the figure of the reference target and a dimension of the figure of one of the pair of comparative targets and a second ratio between the dimension of the figure of the reference target and the dimension of the figure of a second of the pair of comparative targets have a preset relation.

A control method of an imaging apparatus comprising:
- acquiring a judgment image of a structure that includes judgment targets of substantially a same shape;
- calculating intervals between the judgment targets of the structure based on the judgment image;
- judging whether each of the intervals between the judgment targets is within a preset interval based on the calculated intervals;
- comparing a figure of a reference target which is one of the judgment targets shown in the judgment image with figures of a pair of comparative targets which are the judgment targets adjacent to the reference target, to judge whether each of the intervals between the judgment targets is within the preset interval;
- and
- judging that the intervals between the judgment targets are within the preset interval when a first ratio between a dimension of the figure of the reference target and a dimension of the figure of one of the pair of comparative targets and a second ratio between the dimension of the figure of the reference target and the dimension of the figure of a second of the pair of comparative targets have a preset relation.

A non-transitory recording medium that stores instructions that when executed by a computer in communication with image pickup device, cause the computer to:
- instruct the image pickup device to acquire a judgment image of a structure that includes judgment targets of substantially a same shape;
- calculate intervals between the judgment targets of the structure based on the judgment image;
- judge whether each of the interval between the judgment targets is within a preset interval based on the calculated intervals;
- compare a figure of a reference target which is one of the judgment targets shown in the judgment image with figures of a pair of comparative targets which are the judgment targets adjacent to the reference target, to judge whether each of the intervals between the judgment targets is within the preset interval;
- and
- judge that the intervals between the judgment targets are within the preset interval when a first ratio between a dimension of the figure of the reference target and a dimension of the figure of one of the pair of comparative targets and a second ratio between the dimension of the figure of the reference target and the dimension of the figure of a second of the pair of comparative targets have a preset relation.
