1. A drying device drying a surface of an article by blowing hot air, the drying device comprising:
a drying chamber including a hot air supply port, the hot air supply port blowing the hot air;
an infrared camera acquiring temperature distribution information, the temperature distribution information being information related to a temperature distribution inside the drying chamber; and
a controller controlling a drying condition inside the drying chamber,
the controller acquiring corrected temperature distribution information and controlling the drying condition based on the corrected temperature distribution information and a temperature distribution model,
the corrected temperature distribution information being obtained by performing lock-in analysis of the temperature distribution information to remove noise from the temperature distribution information,
the temperature distribution model being a model related to the temperature distribution inside the drying chamber,
the temperature distribution model being pre-generated using machine learning.
