Abstract
A first movement control section sequentially moves a first image to multiple first positions. A first comparison section compares the moved first image with a second image. A target first position selection section selects a target first position based on the result of said comparison. After the target first position is selected, the second movement control section sequentially moves the first image to multiple second positions located in the periphery of the target first position. The second comparison section compares the moved first image with the second image. A target second position selection section selects a target second position based on the result of said comparison. A second position alignment execution section performs geometric transformation based on the difference between the position of the first image and the target second position and aligns the positions of the first and second images.
