Abstract: A branch element identification unit identifies a branch element being a program element for branching, from a model diagram representing a plurality of program elements and a relationship among the program elements. A group identification unit identifies a branch destination group, the branch destination group being a series of program elements constituting branch destination of the branch element, for each branch destination from the model diagram. A sequence determination unit determines a sequence of the branch destination groups in a program code. A code generation unit generates the program code based on the model diagram. The program code includes codes corresponding to the branch destination groups in accordance with the sequence of the branch destination groups.

Abstract: A swing unit (411) performs swing control of causing a camera which photographs a stationary object to change a photographing range. A position calculation unit (413) calculates a last-time position representing a portion showing the stationary object in a last-time image obtained by the camera before the swing control, and a this-time position representing a portion showing the stationary object in a this-time image object obtained by the camera after the swing control. A verification unit (415) determines whether the this-time image is a false image based on a quantity of change in the photographing range resulting from the swing control and a quantity of change in the this-time position from the last-time position.
