Abstract
Provided is an image processing device for associating images with objects appearing in the images, while reducing burden on the user. The image processing device: stores, for each of events, a photographic attribute indicating a photographic condition predicted to be met with respect to an image photographed in the event; stores an object predicted to appear in an image photographed in the event; extracts from a collection of photographed images a photographic attribute that is common among a predetermined number of photographed images in the collection, based on pieces of photography-related information of the respective photographed images; specifies an object stored for an event corresponding to the extracted photographic attribute; and conducts a process on the collection of photographed images to associate each photographed image containing the specified object with the object.
