Abstract
An image position adjustment device which can let the user adjust alignment between two or more images easily and efficiently includes a feature extraction section, a display image generation section, and a displaying order setting section. The feature extraction section generates feature images which provide the user with clues effective for image position adjustment procedure corresponding to each of the images. The display image generation section generates a 'display image' for part or the whole of an image which has been selected by the user as the target of image position adjustment, using corresponding part or the whole of the feature image of the selected image. And the displaying order setting section sets displaying order of images so that the display image which has been generated by the display image generation section using the feature image of the selected image can be displayed in front of other images, and lets a display section display the images according to the displaying order. The user can adjust alignment between two or more images easily and efficiently, easily determining whether or not the selected image is in proper alignment with other images.
