Abstract
An image-processing device that includes at least one processor which is configured to: set discrete measurement regions in a standard image and a reference image selected from images acquired in a time series manner and calculate motion vectors in the respective measurement regions; set a region of interest in the standard image; select, from the calculated motion vectors, the motion vectors in the set region of interest; estimate a homographic-transformation matrix that represents a motion in the region of interest by using the selected motion vectors; evaluate an error in the homographic-transformation matrix on the basis of the estimated homographic-transformation matrix and the calculated motion vectors; and set, on the basis of the evaluation result for the homographic-transformation matrix estimated on the basis of a first region of interest, a second region of interest a size of which is increased as compared with that of the first region of interest.
