It is an object of the present invention to provide an object collating device and an object collating method that enable matching of images of a dividable medical article with desirable accuracy and easy confirmation of matching results. In the object collating device according to the first aspect, when the object is determined to be divided, the first image for matching is collated with the image for matching (the second matching image) for the objects in the undivided state, so that the region to be matched is not narrowed, and matching of the images of the dividable medical article is achieved with desirable accuracy. In addition, since the first and second display processing is performed on the images for display determined to contain the objects of the same type, matching results can easily be confirmed.
