An object of the present invention is to determine the cause of an image defect that occurs in an image forming device with high accuracy while suppressing the amount of calculation at a processor. A processor () determines the cause of an image defect on the basis of a test image read from an output sheet of an image forming device (). The processor () generates a plurality of feature images by executing a feature extraction process on the test image. Further, the processor () uses each of the plurality of feature images as an input image and determines which of a plurality of cause candidates corresponding to the image defect the input image corresponds to by pattern recognition of the input image.
