Abstract

An image inspection device includes a rotating platform configured to carry a workpiece; a first image capturing device configured to capture a top-view image of the workpiece; a second image capturing device configured to capture a lateral-view image of the workpiece; a storage unit configured to pre-store a plurality of lateral-view images of a standard workpiece from different angles; and a processing unit. The processing unit controls the rotating platform to rotate the workpiece to a first angle and a second angle according to the top-view image. The processing unit is configured to generate a first comparison result and a second comparison result by comparing the lateral-view images of the workpiece with lateral-view images of the standard workpiece from, respectively, the first angle and the second angle, and determine whether the workpiece has a defect according to the first comparison result and the second comparison result.
