Abstract
An image processing device () is for extracting pixels of a specific color from an image to be processed, and includes: a pixel information extraction unit () 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 () 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 () that generates an image in which pixels satisfying the following condition are emphasized: the distance calculated by the calculation processing unit () is larger than or equal to a threshold.
