Abstract
An image judgment device stores element characteristic information for each element of a characteristic part of a sample object and first and second positional information defining a position of each element, selects the first or the second positional information, and acquires image characteristic information for a partial image in an image frame considered as an element specified by the first positional information based on a first axis. The image judgment device also extracts image characteristic information for a partial image in an image frame considered as an element specified by the second positional information based on a second axis (which is acquired by rotating the first axis), specifies element characteristic information for an element corresponding to a position of the partial image, and judges whether the characteristic part appears in the image frame with use of the specified element characteristic information and the extracted image characteristic information.
