  • Publication number: 20240135300
    Abstract: An estimation device (10) includes a data acquisition unit (131), a first smoothing processing unit (132), a second smoothing processing unit (133), a calculation unit (134), and an estimation unit (135). The data acquisition unit (131) acquires time-series data of a pupil diameter during work of a subject of work performance estimation. The first smoothing processing unit (132) smooths the acquired time-series data of the pupil diameter of the subject by a first time window. The second smoothing processing unit (133) smooths the time-series data of the pupil diameter by a second time window that is a time window larger than the first time window. The calculation unit (134) calculates a difference between the time-series data of the pupil diameter smoothed by the first time window and the time-series data of the pupil diameter smoothed by the second time window.
