Abstract
An image-processing device includes: a gradient data generation unit which sequentially targets pixels, and on the basis of a luminance value, generates gradient data in which each pixel is represented using a first label of a value indicating a direction toward a pixel having a higher luminance value or a second label of a value indicating that the luminance value of the pixel is higher than all pixels located around the pixel; a plurality of region label generation units which set each pixel represented by the second label as a peak pixel, divide regions into regions including pixels belonging to the same peak pixel on the basis of peak coordinates indicating the positions of peak pixels, and generate region label data; and a peak pixel distribution unit which distributes each peak pixel to each of the region label generation units such that loads of computations are approximately equalized.
