1. A method for generating a biological image by using a learning model, the method comprising:
acquiring a decolored image; and
coloring the decolored image by using the learning model and morphological information derived from the decolored image as input information;
decoloration processing of a colored input image;
performing stain separation processing of the input image; and
performing the coloring using supplementary information obtained through the stain separation processing,
wherein the learning model associates the morphological information with color information used to color the decolored images.
