Abstract

An acquisition unit of a learning device acquires point information for each pixel from a plurality of learning images observed in different wavelength ranges, the point information having a 5-dimensional array obtained by combining 3-dimensional coordinates of points located on a line of sight and a vector indicating a direction of the line of sight. A learning unit of the learning device learns a density estimation multilayer perceptron that estimates a density estimation value which is an estimation value of a probability that there is a substance generating a signal at a point by using the plurality of learning images and the point information acquired by the acquisition unit from the plurality of learning images.
