Abstract

An imaging condition setting system sufficiently reduces the effects of ambient light in designing optimized illumination patterns for imaging an inspection target. The system includes an imager that captures an image of a workpiece being the inspection target, an illuminator including a light source that illuminates the workpiece with light, and an imaging condition setter that sets an imaging condition to capture an image of the workpiece. The imaging condition setter sets, for the image captured with light from the illuminator to the workpiece at a luminosity greater than or equal to a threshold, an exposure time of the imager to cause a value of a pixel in a specific area of the image of the workpiece to be within a specific range.
