Abstract
Provided is an image processing device capable of executing a determination of a display position of annotation information in consideration of a characteristic part of a target image without having a person designate a characteristic part of the target image or a part other than a characteristic part of the target image. An area setting unit sets a plurality of areas within a target image. A calculation unit calculates, as to each of the plurality of areas, a total value of edge amounts of the pixels within the area. An annotation information display area determination unit determines a display area of annotation information, based on the total value of each of the plurality of areas. A data output unit outputs data on the target image with the annotation information displayed in the display area determined by the annotation information display area determination unit.
