<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To position images at a high speed with a high degree of accuracy when pixel values, shapes, and imaging visual fields of the same region are different in positioning a first image and a second image acquired by different image pickup devices. <P>SOLUTION: For positioning the first image and the second image, one of the images (for example, second image) is divided into divisions (Step 204). A prescribed physical property value is set for the division (Step 205). An image (called as a pseudo image) having a pixel value, a shape, and an imaging visual field which are similar to the other image (for example, second image) is created (Step 207). The first image and the second image are positioned by positioning the pseudo image having the same characteristics with the second image (Step 209). <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT |
