Abstract
A printing device includes a location area acquirer that acquires a location area for a printing subject from a background image and a foreground image; a rough edge image acquirer that acquires a first edge image showing a rough contour of the printing subject; a precise edge image acquirer that acquires a second edge image showing a precise contour of the printing subject; a location position acquirer that acquires a position and a posture of the printing subject from the second edge image; a calculator that calculates, based on the position and the posture of the printing subject, a transform matrix usable to perform normalization such that the printing subject assumes a predetermined posture; and a printing data generator that creates printing data actually usable for printing, by use of an inverse matrix of the transform matrix, from printing data edited by an operator.
