Abstract: A training data generation device includes a computer, and a computer-readable storage medium. The computer is configured to: receive an input of an annotation for second image data obtained by imaging an observation target; reflect a result of the annotation in first image data that is related to the same observation target as the observation target of the second image data, the first image data having a different at least one of imaging mode and display mode from the second image data; and generate training data for creating an inference model by using the first image data and the result of the annotation reflected in the first image data, the first image data including image data of a plurality of images, and the second image data being image data of an image obtained by combining the plurality of images included in the first image data.

Abstract: An imaging device includes a first communication unit, an imaging control unit, and a recording determination unit that determines whether or not an image data is to be recorded according to an operation instruction. The first communication unit transmits recording permission information to an external communication device when a user operation is a recording permission operation, and transmits recording prohibition information to the communication device when the user operation is a recording prohibition operation. The imaging control unit associates image data with determination result determined by the recording determination unit and either one of the recording permission information and the recording prohibition information and controls a recording unit to record the image data.

Abstract: A photographing apparatus includes a photographing module, an image processor, a line-of-sight direction determination module, a main subject determination module, and an emphasis processor. The line-of-sight direction determination module determines a line-of-sight direction of the photographer by comparing with the reference line-of-sight direction of the photographer in the image data acquired by the image processor. The main subject determination module determines a main subject to be photographed by the photographer, based on the line-of-sight direction determined by the line-of-sight direction determination module. The emphasis processor executes an emphasis process on the main subject determined by the main subject determination module.
