Claim 6:
7. An image analysis device, comprising:
a binarizing section configured to generate, from a histological image obtained by capturing an image of tissue, a plurality of binarized images associated with respective binarization reference values different from each other;
a characteristic numerical value calculating section configured to calculate, for each of the plurality of binarized images, (i) a first characteristic numerical value representing the number of hole-shaped regions each surrounded by pixels of a first pixel value and each composed of pixels of a second pixel value, the first and second pixel values given through binarization, (ii) a second characteristic numerical value representing the number of connected regions each composed of the pixels of the first pixel value connected together, and (iii) a third characteristic numerical value representing a ratio between the first characteristic numerical value and the second characteristic numerical value; and
a statistic calculating section configured to calculate a first statistic relating to a distribution of the first characteristic numerical value calculated for each of the binarized images, a second statistic relating to a distribution of the second characteristic numerical value calculated for each of the binarized images, and a third statistic relating to a distribution of the third characteristic numerical value calculated for each of the binarized images.
