Image processing device and image processing method

摘要

It is facilitated to switch the display image without using map data by linking pieces of image data together by utilizing the position information in the image data. The following are provided: position information extraction means ( 2 ) for extracting position information from image data; position information storage means ( 3 ) for storing the extracted position information; position information comparison means ( 4 ) for comparing a plurality of pieces of position information stored; comparison reference setting means ( 5 ) for setting the comparison reference of the position information in the position information comparison means ( 4 ); image reproduction means ( 6 ) for reproducing the image data and outputting the reproduction data to a monitor; and reproduction control means ( 7 ) for controlling the image reproduced by the image reproduction means ( 6 ) based on the result of the comparison by the position information comparison means ( 4 ), and by acquiring the correlation between a plurality of pieces of image data from the position information such as the place name, the reproduction data conforming to the condition of the comparison reference such as the distance or direction from the place is outputted.
