Abstract
To create a template for use in image recognition based on design data, luminance information is set for each area in the template based on the information regarding the region defined by the template. The luminance information may be set based on material information, pattern size information of a pattern arranged in the region defined by the template, and layer information of the region defined by the template. Alternatively, luminance information may be set based on material information, setup conditions of the scanning electron microscope, and pattern outline information of a pattern arranged in the region defined by the template.
