The present disclosure relates to technology for correcting a regular expression that is vulnerable to ReDoS attacks. The purpose of the present disclosure is to ensure that a correction result having, as a subject, a regular expression including real-world extensions is not vulnerable while minimizing memory consumption. For the aforementioned purpose, a correction device 30 carries out an iterative deepening depth-first search to thereby correct an inputted regular expression to a form that satisfies RWS1U (prohibits the same characters from appearing consecutively) by using the regular expression, a positive example, and a negative example, and then output the corrected regular expression. It is expected that this will make it possible to support development of a program that is safe against ReDoS in more scenarios.

Abstract
This image restoration device comprises a mask image generation unit, a pixel restoration unit, and an image synthesis unit. The mask image generation unit generates a mask image for an unnecessary object from the input image. The pixel restoration unit first performs down-sampling processing on the input image and the mask image to generate a downsized input image and a downsized mask image by reducing the number of pixels. Next, the pixel restoration unit uses the downsized input image and the downsized mask image to perform object removal processing and pixel restoration processing on a missing region in which the object is removed and generates a downsized restoration image. Then, the pixel restoration unit performs up-sampling processing on the downsized restoration image to generate a restoration image having the same size as that of the original input image. Next, the pixel restoration unit uses the mask image and the restoration image to perform pixel restoration processing on the missing region to generate a final restoration image. The image synthesis unit synthesizes an image by using the input image and the final restoration image.
