Abstract
An image processing device and a method performed by a computer, the image processing device comprising: a processing unit configured to operate as an image acquisition unit configured to acquire an image; a similarity map generator configured to calculate, with a region constructed with one or a plurality of pixels in the image as a constituent unit, a first similarity map based on a first algorithm, the first similarity map representing a degree of similarity between the region and a marginal region of the image, and calculate a second similarity map based on a second algorithm, the second similarity map representing a degree of similarity between the region and the marginal region of the image; and a saliency map generator configured to integrate the first similarity map and the second similarity map to generate a saliency map.
