Claim One:
1. A matching process device that performs pattern matching on a searched image, comprising: a feature region extraction process unit that extracts, from a template image acquired for learning, a region for extraction of a feature quantity determined by a coordinate in the image; a feature quantity extraction process unit that extracts, from the searched image acquired for learning, a feature quantity determined by a coordinate in the image; a first mutual feature quantity calculation process unit that calculates a first mutual feature quantity of the template image and the searched image from the feature quantity extracted from the template image, the feature quantity extracted from the searched image, and a relative position of the template image and the searched image; a discrimination boundary surface calculation unit that calculates a discrimination boundary surface that determines matching success or failure, using a plurality of the first mutual feature quantities calculated from feature quantities with different feature quantity values at the same coordinate in images extracted by a plurality of the feature quantity extraction process units with different feature quantity extracting computations; a second mutual feature quantity calculation process unit that calculates a second mutual feature quantity from the template image acquired from an inspection object and the searched image; and a template matching process unit that performs matching between the template image of the inspection object and the searched image, using a plurality of the second mutual feature quantities calculated from feature quantities with different feature quantity values at the same coordinate in the images and the discrimination boundary surface.
