Abstract
The present invention provides an information processing apparatus capable of accurately separating parenchymal cells and stromal cells from each other regardless of the staining intensity of the cells. The information processing apparatus is an information processing apparatusincluding: an image processing unitfor smoothing a tissue sample imageobtained by staining and then imaging a biological tissue containing parenchymal cellsand stromal cellsso that luminance values of cell components of each of the parenchymal cellsbecome less than those of each of the stromal cells; and a mask generation unitfor generating, through generating a binary image by binarizing the tissue sample imagesmoothed by the image processing unit, a maskfor removing a region of the stromal cells from the tissue sample image
