Abstract: An image processing device can use a calculation formula based on an ellipse to approximate a base function of a reference GMM. The burden rate according to a co-occurrence correspondence point can be approximately determined by a calculation in which the Manhattan distance to the ellipse and the co-occurrence correspondence point and the width of the ellipse are input to a calculation formula for the burden rate based on the base function. The width of the ellipse is quantized by the nth power of 2 (where n is an integer of 0 or greater), and the calculation can be carried out by means of a bit shift.
