Abstract: A method according to the present disclosure includes (a) generating N pieces of input data from one target object, (b) inputting the input data to a machine learning model and obtaining M classification output values, one determination class, and a feature spectrum, (c) obtaining a similarity degree between a known feature spectrum group and the feature spectrum for the input data, and obtaining a reliability degree with respect to the determination class as a function of the reliability degree, and (d) executing a vote for the determination class, based on the reliability degree with respect to the determination class, and determining a class determination result of the target object, based on a result of the vote.
