    摘要: When multiple kinds of bacterial colonies are present in a petri dish and, for example, a drug tolerance is to be measured, harvesting of mixed colonies of different types of bacteria makes it impossible to accurately determine the drug tolerance. Also, it is required to improve the throughput of a device for harvesting a bacterial colony. From images illuminated from multiple directions, isolating bacterial colonies are automatically extracted. Next, the image feature amounts are calculated from the multiple images that are illuminated from multiple directions and colonies are grouped depending on the feature amounts. Then, bacterial colonies to be harvested are determined based on the results of the grouping.

    摘要: In a detection step, light produced on a sample in plural directions are collectively detected using a plurality of detectors. Multidimensional features containing information about scattered light distributions are extracted based on a plurality of detector outputs obtained. The feature is compared with data in a scattered light distribution library thereby to determine the types and sizes of defects. In a feature extraction step, a feature outputted based on the magnitude of each of scattered light detected signals of scatterers already known in refractive index and shape, which are obtained in the detection step, is corrected, thereby realizing high precision determination.
