WIPO Patent Application WO/2024/034207
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
[Problem] To increase an accuracy of counting colonies. [Solution] Provided is a colony counting device which uses an imaging unit to image each inspection individual illuminated by sequentially switching an illumination direction of an illumination unit to generate a plurality of pieces of image data having the illumination directions different from one another for the inspection individual, determines a pixel value reduced in gloss on the basis of pixel values of pixels of a plurality of pieces of first image data corresponding to this pixel as a pixel value of each pixel of an inspection image reduced in gloss when the inspection image is to be generated on the basis of the first image data, and counts colonies included in the inspection image.
