1. A determination device comprising a computer configured to:
acquire image information of a target image in which excrement is captured;
determine a type of the excrement in the target image;
select a part of the excrement specified based on a time series of excretion; and
confirm a representing type for representing a total amount of the excrement by:
determining the total amount of the excrement; and
in a case in which a plurality of the parts having different types are included in the excrement, and when an amount of a first part being initially excreted among the plurality of parts having a first type is determined to be larger than a first type threshold corresponding to a first ratio of the amount of the initially excreted excrement having the first type to the total amount of the excrement, confirm the type of the initially excreted excrement as the representing type of the total amount of the excrement.
