Abstract: A current observation area is determined exploratorily from among a plurality of candidate areas, on the basis of a plurality of observed areas in a biological tissue. A plurality of reference images obtained by means of low-magnification observation of the biological tissue are utilized at this time. A learning image is acquired by means of high-magnification observation of the determined current observation area. A plurality of convolution filters included in an estimator can be utilized to evaluate the plurality of candidate areas.

Abstract: An image processor includes an image generator configured to generate corresponding image data corresponding to first microscopic image data obtained under a first observation condition, based on second microscopic image data and third microscopic image data obtained under a second observation condition, and an image output unit configured to output the corresponding image data. The corresponding image data may be image data corresponding to a first focal plane from which the first microscopic image data are obtained, and wherein the second microscopic image data and the third microscopic image data may be image data on a second focal plane and a third focal plane, respectively, which are different from the first focal plane.
