Abstract
An image processing device includes: a first arithmetic operation unit that individually calculates an evaluation value based upon first factors, in correspondence to each of a plurality of images included in an image batch input thereto; an exclusion unit that executes exclusion processing based upon calculation results provided by the first arithmetic operation unit so as to exclude an image, the calculation results for which satisfy a predetermined condition, from the image batch; a second arithmetic operation unit that individually calculates an evaluation value based upon second factors, which include a factor different from the first factors, in correspondence to each image in the image batch having undergone the exclusion processing; and an evaluation processing unit that ranks individual images in the image batch having undergone the exclusion processing based upon calculation results provided by the second arithmetic operation unit.
