<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To recognize or extract a target in an image even under a special situation. Ž<P>SOLUTION: An image processing device includes a plurality of identification devices (H<SB>k</SB>), which are connected mutually by cascade connection to each evaluate whether the target is contained in an area of an image, and when one of the identification devices determines that the target is contained in the area, the following identification device performs the evaluation. The image processing device also includes; a counting part (11) calculating the maximum number of the identification devices determining that the target is included in a candidate area having possibility of containing the target; a feature quantity calculation part (12) calculating a feature quantity based on the characteristics of an image different from the target as to the candidate region; and a target region extraction part (14) extracting the candidate region as the target region based on the maximum number and the feature quantity.
