Abstract (en)

[origin: US2009129682A1] Disclosed are a method and a system for inspecting a periodic structure (1) by means of an optical image recorder which is provided with a pixel structure (2) and whose recorded image (6) is compared to a faultless reference image (4) of the periodic structure (1). In order to be able to reliably detect faults with simple means, the phase angle (phase X, phase Y) of the periodic structure (1) relative to the pixel structure (2) of the optical image recorder is determined in at least one position (X, Y) of the reference image (4). The recorded image (6) is subdivided into inspection areas (7), and the phase angle (phase X, phase Y) of the periodic structure (1) relative to the pixel structure (2) of the image recorder is determined for each inspection area (7). In order to compare an inspection area (7) to the reference image (4), a reference image area (8) is then selected whose phase angle (phase X, phase Y) corresponds to the inspection area (7).
