PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To properly paste two images while preventing the deterioration of image quality even when areas whose pixel values are largely different are present in the overlapped area of the both images to be pasted each other. SOLUTION: At the time of carrying out image pasting processing, when a plurality of images to be pasted each other inputted (S601), the overlapped area of the adjacent images among the plurality of images is specified by matching processing (S603). Then, areas where animal objects are present with largely different image contents are specific from the overlapped area (S605), and respective pixel values in the overlapped area under the consideration of the areas are calculated (S607). The pixel values in the areas where the animal objects are present are calculated based on the pixel value of one images, and the pixel values in the other overlapped area are calculated based on the pixel values of the both images. Afterwards, the pixel values of the images in the area other than the overlapped area are decided (S609). |
