1. An image processing system comprising:
an image processing device including circuitry;
an optical microscope system that includes a plurality of objective lenses having different numerical apertures, and that acquires an input image to be input to the image processing device; and
a storage storing a plurality of learned models,
wherein:
the circuitry (i) selects, based on setting information indicating a parameter of the optical microscope system when the optical microscope system acquired the input image, a learned model from the plurality of learned models stored in the storage, each of the plurality of learned models being a model having learned an image conversion that converts the input image acquired by the optical microscope system into an output image having an image quality higher than an image quality of the input image, and (ii) performs the image conversion using the selected learned model,
each of the plurality of learned models is a learned model having learned using an image that differs from an image used by the remainder of the plurality of learned models in at least one of a sample type and an image quality range,
the setting information includes the numerical apertures of the objective lenses included in the optical microscope system, and
the circuitry selects the learned model based on the numerical aperture of the objective lens set for the optical microscope system when the optical microscope system acquired the input image.
