Abstract
An information processing apparatus calculates an index for a plant growth state with a neural network using fewer images to achieve training of the neural network. The apparatus includes first to N-th image analyzers (N≥2) each analyzing a cultivation area image of a plant cultivation area with a neural network to calculate a state index indicating a growth state of the plant in the cultivation area and including the neural network trained using cultivation area images each having a predetermined growth index classified into a corresponding class of first to N-th growth index classes, and a selector receiving an input of a cultivation area image for which the state index is calculated and causing one of the first to N-th image analyzers trained using cultivation area images classified into the same growth index class as the input cultivation area image to analyze the input cultivation area image.
