Abstract

An image processing device includes a dimension information acquisition unit that acquires dimension information specifying dimensions of a target image formed by extracting a region of a target of an image containing the target, picked up by image pickup unit. The image processing device further includes a pickup image quality information acquisition unit that acquires pickup image quality information indicating an image quality of the region of the target in the pickup image picked up by the image pickup unit; and a resolution acquisition unit that acquires a resolution of the region of the target when the region of the target is formed in the dimensions based on the dimension information and the pickup image quality information.

Claims (28)

1. An image processing device comprising:

a dimension information acquisition unit configured to acquire dimension information specifying dimensions of a target image formed by extracting a target region of a pickup image picked up by an image pickup unit;

a pickup image quality information acquisition unit configured to acquire pickup image quality information indicating an image quality of the target region of the pickup image; and

a resolution acquisition unit configured to calculate, in response to the target region of the pickup image being formed in the dimensions, a resolution of the target region of the pickup using the dimension information and the pickup image quality information.

2. The image processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the dimension information indicates the actual dimensions of the target region.

3. The image processing device according to claim 1 , wherein a shape of the target region is a quadrangle, and wherein

the resolution calculated by the resolution acquisition unit is set from a resolution on a shorter one of two diagonal lines of the target region.

4. The image processing device according to claim 1 , wherein a shape of the target region is a quadrangle, and wherein

the resolution calculated by the resolution acquisition unit is set from a resolution at a position of an intersection point of two diagonal lines of the target region.

5. The image processing device according to claim 1 , wherein a shape of the target region is a quadrangle, and wherein

the resolution calculated by the resolution acquisition unit is set from a resolution on a position where a ratio of a length to opposed sides of four sides of the target region is the minimum.

6. The image processing device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a resolution specification information acquisition unit configured to acquire resolution specification information specifying an objective resolution of the target image;

an objective target region information acquisition unit configured to acquire objective target region information indicating the dimensions of the target region in the pickup image, determined based on the resolution specification information; and

an objective target region display unit configured to cause a display unit to display an objective target region based on the objective target region information.

7. The image processing device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a resolution specification information acquisition unit configured to acquire resolution specification information specifying an objective resolution of the target image;

a determination unit configured to determine whether or not the resolution when the target image is formed in the dimensions is equal to or more than the objective resolution specified by the resolution specification information; and

a determination result display unit configured to cause a display unit to display an image based on the determination result.

8. The image processing device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a correction unit configured to correct the pickup image so that the shape of the target region in the pickup image becomes a shape based on the dimension information.

9. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a computer readable program executable by a computer for causing a computer to execute a process, the process comprising:

acquiring dimension information specifying the dimensions of a target image formed by extracting a target region of a pickup image picked up by image pickup unit;

acquiring pickup image quality information indicating an image quality of the target region in the pickup image; and

calculating, in response to the region of the target being formed in the dimensions, a resolution of the target region of the pickup image based on the dimension information and the pickup image quality information.

10. The image processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the image quality of the target region is an acquired resolution of the pickup image,

the target region is a quadrangle, and

the resolution acquisition unit calculates the resolution of the target region of the pickup image by multiplying the acquired resolution of the pickup image by a length of a first diagonal line in the target region and dividing that result by a length of a second diagonal line corresponding to the first diagonal line in the dimensions indicated by the dimension information.
