Abstract
An image processing device configured to detect a salient region from an image has a pixel small-region image generating unit that generates a pixel small-region image using, as a unit, a pixel small region made of pixels adjacent to one another and whose luminance values or chromaticity are similar, from the image, a prior probability calculator that calculates prior probability of likelihood of the salient region for each of the pixels of the image, a region generating unit that generates a salient-region-containing region having high possibility of containing a salient region on the basis of a corner point extracted from the image, and a likelihood calculator.
