Image processing device generating combined image data by calculating degree of similarity between two images

摘要

An image processing device performs: calculating a degree of similarity between a reference region in a first image and a candidate region in a second image; identifying a corresponding region in the second image; determining whether a first variance condition is met; and generating combined image data representing a combined image in which the first image is combined with the second image by overlapping the reference region with the corresponding region. In a first case where the first variance condition is met, once the calculating finds the degree of similarity greater than or equal to a reference value, the candidate region corresponding to the degree of similarity is identified with the corresponding region. In a second case where the first condition is not met, the identifying identifies a candidate region having a maximum degree of similarity with the corresponding region.
