Abstract: A method includes displaying a first image including a living body on a display apparatus, accepting specifying of a first area on the first image, extracting a first feature point group from an area in the first image, the area being located in a distance more than a threshold from the first area, acquiring a second image including the living body, the second image being captured at different timing from the first image, extracting a second feature point group corresponding to the first feature point group, from the second image, generating, by a processor, transformation information based on a positional relationship between the first feature point group and the second feature point group, for carrying out an image registration between the second image and the first image, executing transformation processing by applying the transformation information to the second image, and displaying a third image generated by the transformation processing.
