Abstract
A calibration data acquisition unit (a) acquires Q optical spectra, S evaluation spectra, and a reference spectrum of a target component, (b) extracts R subsets from a set of the optical spectra, (c) performs independent component analysis in which component amounts are treated as independent components on each subset so as to acquire component natural spectra and component calibration spectra, (d) obtains an inner product value between the component calibration spectrum and the evaluation spectrum, (e) obtains a correlation degree between a component amount for the target component and the inner product value with respect to each component calibration spectrum, (f) obtains a similarity between each component natural spectrum and a reference spectrum, (g) selects a component calibration spectrum causing a comprehensive evaluation value based on the correlation degree and the similarity to be greatest as the target component calibration spectrum, and (h) creates a calibration curve.
