  • Patent number: 10475210
    Abstract: An image processing device (10) is for extracting pixels of a specific color from an image to be processed, and includes: a pixel information extraction unit (11) that extracts values of luminance, first chrominance, and second chrominance of pixels composing the image on a pixel-by-pixel basis; a calculation processing unit (12) that calculates, on a pixel-by-pixel basis, a distance from a point defined by the extracted values to a preset reference plane in a space in which the luminance, the first chrominance, and the second chrominance are set along axes that are perpendicular to one another; and a converted image generation unit (13) that generates an image in which pixels satisfying the following condition are emphasized: the distance calculated by the calculation processing unit (12) is larger than or equal to a threshold.
