Patent number: 11334761Abstract: An information processing system creates a teacher database configured to train an analysis model from an observation image and labeling information corresponding to the observation image using an information processor. This system includes a storage unit, an image processing unit, and a teacher database creating unit. The storage unit stores image processing data formed of information showing a relationship between an observation condition and a parameter relating to the observation image. Further stores a first observation image, a first observation condition, and first labeling information. The image processing unit accepts the first observation image and the first observation condition as inputs, performs image processing corresponding to the parameter to the first observation image based on the image processing data, and creates a second observation image corresponding to a second observation condition.Type: GrantFiled: December 12, 2019Date of Patent: May 17, 2022Assignee: HITACHI, LTD.Inventors: Thantip Krasienapibal, Sayaka Kurata, Momoyo Enyama, Yasuhiro Shirasaki
