"Good/good judgment on the measured value."

The concept is simple and straightforward. By sampling multiple normal values, a "normal range" is statistically determined. If it is within that range, it is normal; otherwise, it is abnormal. If it is within that range, it is normal; if not, it is abnormal. FlexInspector processes on a two-dimensional array, but [...].

Inexpensive experimental environment

MY THEORY IS THAT THE SECRET TO SUCCESS IN "IMAGING" IS TO TRY IT YOURSELF, BUT IN REALITY, SETTING UP THE CAMERA AND PREPARING THE ILLUMINATOR CAN BE QUITE A CHALLENGE. I AM LOOKING FOR A GOOD INEXPENSIVE ENVIRONMENT, AND I FOUND A GOOD ONE. WITH A COPY STAND FROM LPL CORPORATION [...].

Ask the "field."

It is said that "the illuminator is the deciding factor," but I think it is the visual inspectors on site who know best how to make it easier to see. They probably have considerable know-how. If it is easy to see with the eyes, it is easy to see with a camera. The difference is that ・ [...].
