An image processing and inspection system includes a master device (10)
having a video camera (40) and a first controller (20) responsible for
processing and inspecting the image of an object (1) in accordance with
inspection criteria. Intercommunicated (12) with the master device (10)
is a personal computer (100) equipped with a second monitor (120), and a
second input member (102,104). The motion-picture taken by the camera
(40) for inspection on the side of the master device (10) is transmitted
to the computer (100) so as to be displayed on the second monitor (120)
as a real-time image of the object (1) for easy confirmation of the
object on the side of the computer (100), thereby enabling to determine
the inspection criteria on the side of the computer (100) while
monitoring the real-time image of the object (1).
