PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To process an image of an evaluation object pattern at a high speed and also to improve the efficiency of computer resources. SOLUTION: A distributed computing system 1 is equipped with an image capture device 10 which captures a series of images Img1-Imgn of the evaluation object pattern picked up by CD-SEM 300 in a time of Ti per sheet, cluster nodes CN1-CNM which process the images Img1-Imgn in a series in a time of Tp per sheet and output the result of evaluation of the evaluation object pattern and a main node MN which is connected with the cluster nodes CN1-CNM and controls them. Herein the time Ti and the time Tp are measured and the cluster nodes CN1-CNm (m≤M) are estimated and assigned to a series of image processing so that the time for acquisition of the images Img1-Imgn and the processing time therefor may be in accord.
