Model image acquisition support apparatus, model image acquisition support method, and model image acquisition support program

A model image acquisition support method for providing support in obtaining a model image, the model image acquisition support method being directed to an image processing apparatus configured to perform a matching processing, based on a previously-set model image, on a measurement image obtained by imaging an object, the model image acquisition support method comprising:

• extracting a plurality of model image candidates, serving as candidates for the model images, from a reference image obtained by imaging the object which can be a model;
• receiving a plurality of the measurement images, the plurality of the measurement images including a non-defective item image that should match with the model image and a defective item image that should not match with the model image;
• generating a plurality of trial results by performing the matching processing on the measurement image based on each of the plurality of model image candidates;
• stopping the generation of the plurality of trial results when an index including a number of non-defective item images that do not match with the model image candidate and a number of defective item images that match with the model image candidate matches with a predetermined condition;
• generating an evaluation result by evaluating each of the plurality of trial results;
• outputting the evaluation result for each of the plurality of model image candidates;
• receiving a condition that should be satisfied by the evaluation result;
• and
• determining a model image candidate that is most suitable for the condition from among a plurality of trial results.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a model image acquisition support program for providing support in obtaining a model image, the model image acquisition support program being directed to an image processing apparatus configured to perform a matching processing, based on a previously-set model image, on a measurement image obtained by imaging an object, the model image acquisition support program causing a processor to execute steps comprising:

• extracting a plurality of model image candidates, serving as candidates for the model images, from a reference image obtained by imaging the object which can be a model;
• receiving a plurality of the measurement images, plurality of the measurement images including a non-defective item image that should match with the model image and a defective item image that should not match with the model image;
• generating a plurality of trial results by performing the matching processing on the measurement image based on each of the plurality of model image candidates;
• stopping the generation of the plurality of trial results when an index including a number of non-defective item images that do not match with the model image candidate and a number of defective item images that match with the model image candidate matches with a predetermined condition;
• generating an evaluation result by evaluating each of the plurality of trial results;
• outputting the evaluation result for each of the plurality of model image candidates;
• receiving a condition that should be satisfied by the evaluation result;
• and determining a model image candidate that is most suitable for the condition from among the plurality of trial results.
