Abstract
An image processing device comprises an input unit, a characteristic amount calculation unit, a characteristic amount vector calculation unit, and a characteristic identification unit. The input unit receives an image. The characteristic amount calculation unit calculates an image characteristic amount characterizing a texture of a local area of the image received by the input unit. The characteristic amount vector calculation unit calculates a first characteristic amount vector corresponding to the local area from the image characteristic amount. The characteristic identification unit identifies a characteristic of the local area on the basis of the first characteristic amount vector and a second characteristic amount vector calculated by the same method as the first characteristic amount vector and calculated from an image whose characteristic has been determined in advance.
