Abstract

An image acquisition sectionacquires a multiplied image at a predetermined electron multiplication factor set in advance, and a luminance calculation sectioncalculates a luminance average value and a luminance variance average value corresponding to the image sectionin the multiplied image acquired by the luminance calculation section, and calculates a luminance average value and a luminance variance average value of pixels corresponding to the OPB sectionin the multiplied image. Then, by using the calculated luminance average value and luminance variance average value, a conversion factor calculation sectioncalculates a conversion factor of the multiplied image, and by using this conversion factor and a conversion factor at a reference electron multiplication factor, a multiplication factor calculation sectioncalculates an electron multiplication factor of the multiplied image.
