  • Publication number: 20220373475
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus selects, as a reference defect, at least one defect from among first defects associated with a first image and selects, as a correction target defect, at least one defect from among second defects associated with a second image captured at a time different from an image capturing time of the first image. Additionally, the information processing apparatus generates a correction candidate by modifying the correction target defect, acquires a matching level representing a matching relationship between the reference defect and the correction candidate, and generates a corrected defect by correcting the correction target defect based on the matching level. Then, the information processing apparatus acquires a progress level representing a change in defect from the reference defect based on a comparison between the reference defect and the corrected defect.
