The acquisition unit acquires one or more side images of the optical fiber. The calculation unit calculates correlation coefficients between the luminances of the one or more side images and those of one or more reference side images. The rotation processing unit rotates the optical fiber in the axis direction of the optical fiber so that the correlation coefficients peak.
