An image acquisition unit sequentially acquires a medical image. A recognition processing unit applies a recognition process to the medical image. A recognition result display determination unit determines to display or not display the result of the recognition process on a display according to blur in the medical image. A display control unit controls the display of the recognition process according to the determination by the recognition result display determination unit.

In a learning device, method, and program for a discriminator, and a discriminator, it is possible to enable accurate learning of a discriminator that discriminates a state of an object to be observed, such as a cell. An image acquisition unit acquires a first image including an influence of a meniscus and a second image with the influence of the meniscus eliminated for the same object to be observed. Next, a training data generation unit generates training data for learning a discriminator based on the second image. Then, a learning unit learns the discriminator based on the first image and the training data.
