[Problem] To propose a method for using high-order energy that is effective when using a graph cut technique for the segmentation of images. [Solution] When using a graph cut process for binary labeling, a labeling means (13) is used to select N(>3) pixels in image data so as to represent a prescribed shape in the image, minimizes the high-order energy of at least the Nth order in which the pixel values of the N pixels are variables, and carries out the labeling. |
