Abstract:
An imaging unit, an extraction unit, a feature amount pair generation unit, and an imaging parameter adjustment unit are included. The imaging unit acquires images obtained by imaging each of N (N≥3) types of objects a plurality of times by setting a value of a specific imaging parameter, among a plurality of types of imaging parameters, as a certain candidate value and changing a value of the remaining imaging parameter. The extraction unit extracts a feature amount from each of the images. The feature amount pair generation unit generates, as a first feature amount pair for each of the N types of objects, a feature amount pair in which two feature amounts constituting the feature amount pair are extracted from images of objects of the same type, and generates, as a second feature amount pair for every combination of the N types of objects, a feature amount pair in which two feature amounts constituting the feature amount pair are extracted from a images of objects of the different types. The imaging parameter adjustment unit generates a first distribution that is a distribution of collation scores of the first feature amount pairs, generates a second distribution that is a distribution of collation scores of the second feature amount pairs, and on the basis of a degree of separation between the first distribution and the second distribution, determines the propriety of adopting the candidate value.
