Abstract
An image processing device includes an image sequence acquisition section that acquires an input image sequence that includes first to N-th images, and a processing section that performs an image summarization process that deletes some of the first to Nth images to generate a summary image sequence, the processing section selecting an s-th (s is an integer that satisfies 0≦s≦N+1) image to be a provisional summary image, selecting a t-th (t is an integer that satisfies 0≦t≦s−1) image to be a provisional preceding summary image, selecting a u-th (u is an integer that satisfies t<u<s) image to be a determination target image, calculating a summarization interval evaluation value G(t, s) based on deformation information about the provisional summary image and the determination target image, and deformation information about the provisional preceding summary image and the determination target image, and performing the image summarization process.
