A sample image acquiring section acquires a new sample image obtained by newly photographing the sample. A feature amount extracting section generates, on the basis of the new sample image, feature amount data indicating a feature amount corresponding to the new sample image. A storage control section has control, on the basis of the difference between the feature amount indicated by the training data stored in the positive-example training data storage section and the feature amount indicated by the feature amount data, to determine whether to cause the positive-example training data storage section to store the feature amount data as training data, or to discard the feature amount data.

Abstract: A sample image obtaining section repetitively obtains a sample image generated by photographing a given sample by a photographing unit. A feature quantity extracting section generates feature quantity data corresponding to the sample image, in reference to the sample image.
