Since the light amount of the irradiation light is adjusted according to the regular reflectance, the reflected light from the curved rotating body having the curved surface on the surface becomes the regular reflected light from each of the above parts, and high output sensitivity can be obtained. If the specularly reflected light from each of these parts is incident on the sensor in the one-dimensional camera with a constant amount of light as a whole, surface defects such as scratches occur on the surface of the curved rotating body. In the sensor, that part is Then, it became clear and the accuracy of the surface defect inspection was greatly improved.
