Inspection device and inspection method

An inspection device for inspecting a virtual image generated from a head-up display device comprising a concave mirror, the inspection device comprising:

• a display unit configured to generate an image and project the image onto a windshield without using a concave mirror;
• an imaging unit configured to capture a virtual image of the image generated and projected on the windshield by the display unit of the inspection device;
• a storage unit configured to store preliminarily set data of a shape of the windshield and a relative position between the windshield, the display unit of the inspection device, and the imaging unit;
• an imaging unit position control unit configured to move the imaging unit to a predetermined position;
• a display control unit configured to calculate an image distortion correction, which corresponds to distortion correction made by the concave mirror of the head-up display device, based on data corresponding to a position of the imaging unit after moving, and to control the display unit of the inspection device so as to generate the image taking into account the image distortion correction;
• and
• an image inspection unit configured to inspect a distortion of the virtual image captured by the imaging unit.
