## Abstract

An inspection terminal device includes an imager, a displayer, a feature extractor, and an evaluator. The imager images an inspection object. The displayer displays an image of the inspection object imaged by the imager. The feature extractor extracts a feature of the inspection object in the image. The evaluator evaluates the inspection object based on the feature. The displayer displays an evaluation result of the evaluator to correspond to a position of the inspection object in the image.

## Claims

### Claim 1

An inspection terminal device, comprising:
an imager imaging an inspection object;
a displayer displaying an image of the inspection object imaged by the imager;
a feature extractor extracting a feature of the inspection object in the image; and
an evaluator evaluating the inspection object based on the feature,
the displayer displaying an evaluation result of the evaluator to correspond to a position of the inspection object in the image.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The inspection terminal device according to claim 1, wherein
the displayer displays, before the imaging of the inspection object by the imager, an imaging guide that corresponds to the inspection object and indicates an imaging position of the inspection object.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The inspection terminal device according to claim 1, wherein
the feature extractor extracts the feature by using a trained model.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The inspection terminal device according to claim 1, wherein
the feature extractor extracts, as the feature, at least one of a contour line or a boundary line of the inspection object from the image.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The inspection terminal device according to claim 1, wherein
the evaluator calculates a luminance cumulative sum in one axis direction of the at least one of the contour line or the boundary line and evaluates the inspection object based on the luminance cumulative sum.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The inspection terminal device according to claim 1, wherein
the inspection terminal device is a portable terminal device including a tablet terminal device or a smartphone.

### Claim 7

An inspection device, comprising:
an inputter accepting an input of an image of an inspection object;
a feature extractor extracting a feature of the inspection object in the image;
an evaluator evaluating the inspection object based on the feature; and
an outputter outputting an evaluation result of the evaluator as display information for displaying the evaluation result to correspond to a display position of the inspection object in the image.

### Claim 8 (depends on 7)

The inspection device according to claim 7, wherein
the feature is extracted from the image by using a trained model.

### Claim 9 (depends on 7)

The inspection device according to claim 7, wherein
the image is imaged in a state in which a position of the inspection object is aligned with an imaging guide corresponding to the inspection object.

### Claim 10

An inspection system, comprising:
an inspection terminal device; and
an inspection device communicatably connected with the inspection terminal device,
the inspection terminal device including
an imager imaging an inspection object, and
a displayer displaying an image imaged by the imager,
the inspection device including
an inputter accepting an input of the image from the inspection terminal device,
a feature extractor extracting a feature of the inspection object in the image,
an evaluator evaluating the inspection object based on the feature, and
an outputter outputting, to the inspection terminal device, an evaluation result of the evaluator as display information for displaying, in the displayer, the evaluation result to correspond to a position of the inspection object in the image.

### Claim 11 (depends on 10)

The inspection system according to claim 10, wherein
the feature extractor extracts the feature by using a trained model.

### Claim 12 (depends on 10)

The inspection system according to claim 10, wherein
the displayer displays, before the imaging of the inspection object by the imager, an imaging guide that corresponds to the inspection object and indicates an imaging position of the inspection object.

### Claim 13

An inspection program causing a computer to execute processing, the processing comprising:
acquiring an image of an inspection object;
extracting at least one of a contour line or a boundary line of the inspection object as a feature of the image by using a trained model;
calculating numerical data evaluating an object from the feature, and evaluating the inspection object based on the numerical data; and
displaying the evaluation result to correspond to a position of the inspection object in the image.

### Claim 14 (depends on 13)

The inspection program according to claim 13 causing a computer to execute processing, the processing comprising:
displaying the evaluation result to correspond to a position of the inspection object in the image.

### Claim 15 (depends on 13)

The inspection program according to claim 13, wherein
the image is imaged in a state in which a position of the inspection object is aligned with an imaging guide corresponding to the inspection object.
