IMAGE PROCESSING DEVICE AND IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD

摘要

Techniques are proposed to properly place markers to demarcate an image area to be processed. An area designation unit (1a) designates a processing area (4) within an input image (2). An image processing unit (1b) performs predetermined processing on the processing area (4). A marker area detection unit (1c) detects a marker area (5) in the input image (2), the marker area (5) being capable of accommodating a marker (6) that demarcates the processing area (4). A marking unit (1d) determines a position in the marker area (5) for placing the marker (6), based on priority conditions.
