Abstract

An object determining device includes imaging means for obtaining an image of the object, likelihood value calculating means for calculating a first likelihood value for the object shown in the image by use of the image obtained by the imaging means and a machine learning system and for calculating a second likelihood value for the object shown in the image by use of the image obtained by the imaging means and another machine learning system, the first likelihood value indicating a level of likelihood that the object is wearing the covering and the second likelihood value indicating a level of likelihood that the object is not wearing the covering, and determining means for determining whether or not the object, shown in the image obtained by the imaging means, is wearing a covering, on the basis of a ratio between the first likelihood value and the second likelihood value.
