Abstract
An image processing device combines a plurality of contents (e.g. videos) with a story line retained as much as possible, while reducing view's discomfort. The image processing device compares one of the contents, which contains a first partial content and a second partial content subsequent to the first partial content, with another one of the contents, which contains a plurality of consecutive partial contents; detects, as a third partial content, a partial content with the highest similarity value from among the plurality of partial contents; and generates relational information by using the highest similarity value obtained by the first processing unit. The relational information is then used for merging the first partial content, the second partial content and the third partial content.
