[Objective] To propose a method for using high order energy that is effective when using a graph cut technique for the segmentation of images. [Constitution] When using a graph cut process for binary labeling, labeling means (13) selects N (>3) pixels in image data in such a manner to represent a predetermined shape in the image, minimize the high-order energy of the Nth order or greater in which the pixel values of the N pixels are variables, and performs labeling. |
