Abstract

A counting apparatus includes: a storage unit storing a learning model, the learning model being trained using multiple pairs of training input images each obtained by capturing an image of multiple count target objects with the same shape, and training output images each containing teaching figures that are arranged at respective positions of the multiple count target objects. A captured image acquiring unit acquiring a captured image of multiple count target objects; an output image acquiring unit acquiring an output image in which the count target objects contained in the captured image are converted into count target figures, by applying the captured image to the learning model. A counting unit counting the number of count target objects, using the multiple count target figures contained in the output image; and an output unit outputting the number of count target objects counted by the counting unit.
