Abstract: An imaging system for imaging a sample in a medium carried in a container WP as an imaging object comprises: an imaging object includes an imager which obtains an original image by imaging the imaging object; and a data processor which generates multi-gradation image data by performing a gradation correction on the original image, wherein the data processor associates a luminance value corresponding to a luminance of the medium in the original image with a maximum gradation value in the gradation correction.

Abstract: A method is for supporting the creation of a teaching data. The comprises: a displaying step of displaying a teaching image including an object for the creation of a teaching data on a display unit to enable the classification of the object; and a data creating step of receiving a classification result of the object displayed on the display unit and creating the teaching data by associating the classification result and the teaching image.

Abstract: An evaluation method of a spheroid comprises specifying a spheroid region taken up by the spheroid out of the image including the spheroid and a surrounding region thereof, obtaining an average value of an optical density of the spheroid and a magnitude of a variation of the optical density in the spheroid from an image density of the spheroid region, obtaining a circularity of the spheroid from a contour of the spheroid region, obtaining a sharpness of the spheroid from the image densities of the spheroid and the surrounding region thereof, and obtaining the collapse degree of the spheroid by substituting the average value of the optical density, the magnitude of the variation of the optical density, the circularity and the sharpness into a predetermined operational expression.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus displays an object adopted and an object not adopted by an adoption/non-adoption process in a distinguishable manner. A user designates an object whose adoption/non-adoption result is desired to be reversed among the objects displayed by the image processing apparatus. The image processing apparatus changes an allowable range stored in a storage part so that the adoption/non-adoption result of the designated object is reversed. That is, the user views the adoption/non-adoption result of the objects to change the allowable range of a parameter so that the adoption/non-adoption result becomes proper. This makes the allowable range of the parameter for use in the adoption/non-adoption process proper with ease.

Abstract: Switching between highlighting and unhighlighting of an object determined as adopted and switching between highlighting and unhighlighting of an object determined as not adopted are performed individually and independently by manipulation of an on/off selectable button. This allows switching to be freely performed between the following states in which: objects are highlighted regardless of whether the objects are adopted or not; only an object determined as adopted is highlighted; only an object determined as not adopted is highlighted; and objects are not highlighted regardless of whether the objects are adopted or not. A user visually judges whether the result of the adoption/non-adoption process is proper or not easily while switching between these displays.

Abstract: A condition for executing an event relating to a delivery management is set in accordance with delivery objects (content, publicity information) and if the event execution condition is satisfied as the result of repeating delivery of the delivery objects to a user, the event is executed. A manager of a server can provide information that a provider of the delivery objects needs without continuous monitoring of a delivery of the delivery objects. To a content, publicity information relating to the details thereof is linked. Further, on the basis of points which are given at every use of the content and every view of the publicity information, a content fee is discounted by the amount corresponding to the views of the publicity information. Since the publicity information that the user views is not an advertisement irrelevant to the details of the content and the content fee is discounted, it is possible to produce an effective advertisement which causes few complaints of the user.
