IMAGE PROCESSING DEVICE, IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD, AND IMAGE PROCESSING PROGRAM

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable recognition of a main object by distinguishing different objects that cannot be distinguished only with image information and non-image information of objects.

SOLUTION: An image processing device comprises: an image feature amount calculation unit 31 that generates an image feature amount calculated from a recognition target image; a non-image feature amount calculation unit 32 that acquires a non-image feature amount obtained from information other than an image; a scene recognition unit 33 that recognizes scene information of the image from the image feature amount and the non-image feature amount; a scene/main-object correspondence relationship accumulation unit 42 that accumulates a correspondence relationship between the scene information and a main object typical for the scene information; and a main object recognition unit 34 that estimates a main object candidate using the recognized scene information and the accumulated correspondence relationship.
