  • Patent number: 9600893
    Abstract: The invention provides an image processing device, an image processing method, and an image processing program capable of correctly discriminating a type of a test object, even when similar model images have been registered. The image processing device includes: a hardware that holds a feature amount obtained from model images of a plurality of reference objects belonging to mutually different types; a region determination module that determines a non-common region as a region indicating a feature amount different from those of other objects, within a model image of each object; and a discrimination module that discriminates which type an object included in an input image belongs to, by using a feature amount corresponding to a non-common region of the object out of feature amounts of objects.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9508192
    Abstract: The invention provides the image processing device that can shorten a time required for setting a parameter. The invention provides the image processing device that searches an input image for a feature amount based on a feature amount included in a model image. The image processing device includes: the hardware for holding a feature amount of a feature portion of the model image; the search-range reception module for receiving a setting value indicating a size of a range of searching the input image for a feature amount corresponding to the feature amount of the model image; the search-range determination module for determining, by using the setting value, a range of searching the input image for a feature amount corresponding to a feature amount of the model image; and the display module, in superposition with the model image, a search range determined by the search-range determination module.
