Abstract

The present image processing device includes an image obtaining device which obtains an electronic image (still image) or a series of electronic images (moving image), an image extraction processing device which performs image extraction processing for extracting from the image obtained by the image obtaining device a specified object domain an operator wishes to cut out, and a result output device which outputs an image extracted by the image extraction processing device. The image extraction processing device sets two mutually exclusive provisional domains in the obtained image, and, based on separability of the provisional domains, extracts a partial image containing the specified object domain.
