Original Abstract Submitted
An image analysis device includes a processor. An infrared thermal image acquisition unit of the processor acquires a first infrared thermal image and a second infrared thermal image obtained by imaging the object from different imaging positions, respectively. A registration unit of the processor performs registration of the first infrared thermal image and the second infrared thermal image. A first processing unit of the processor executes first processing including at least one of discrimination processing, suppression processing, or enhancement processing of background reflection of infrared light from the periphery of the object on an infrared thermal image obtained by imaging the object based on a difference between a temperature distribution of the first infrared thermal image and a temperature distribution of the second infrared thermal image after the registration.
