PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve the problem that the capacity of a working memory for temporarily storing a block image increases because overlapping of pixels between adjacent blocks is necessary in order to reduce the appearance of a block-shaped outline at an area boundary in clustering an image in a block order to perform area division.SOLUTION: An image processing device for dividing an image into a plurality of areas by repeating clustering of the image and updating of a representative point clusters an inputted image in a prescribed block order. At this time, the image of an object block 301 to be clustered is clustered with reference to information on a representative point in the object block 301, a representative point in an adjacent processed block 302, and a representative point in an adjacent unprocessed block 303. Thus, the capacity of a working memory for temporarily storing a block image can be reduced.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3 |
