Abstract

Provided is an image processing device including: a processor comprising hardware, the processor configured to: smooth a brightness value of a cell image including a plurality of cell clusters each including a plurality of cells so as to generate a smoothed image in which a gap existing between the cells in each of the cell clusters is filled in; binarize the smoothed image into a background region and a non-background region of each cell cluster; and segment the non-background region of the binarized smoothed image into a region for each of the cell clusters.
