How about "judges whether" instead of "determines whether"?

Using "judges whether" instead of "determines whether" is grammatically correct, but it can slightly change the tone or nuance.

• "Judges whether" implies a subjective or evaluative process, which might not be suitable for technical descriptions where the process is purely algorithmic or objective.
• "Determines whether" is more common in technical contexts, suggesting an objective decision based on predefined criteria or data.

Recommendation:

Stick with "determines whether" for a precise and objective tone unless you want to emphasize an evaluative or interpretive process.

If you still prefer "judges," the sentence would be:
"The device includes a determination unit that determines a threshold value and a judgment unit that judges whether the subject is captured in the image based on the threshold value."
