In this case, the morphology processing including the smoothing filter processing is performed on an extracted candidate region and an extracted likelihood of the region.1/14 DRAWINGS FIG. 1 100 101 processing unit 130 separating means - 10 1 a extracting means -101_b input device first extracting 101 b-1 120 means V second extractin -101 b-2 means - - - display device 110 102 image- dermoscope-equip memorizing ped, image-captur unit ing device diagnostic apparatus
