Image processing device, image processing method, and image processing program
An image processing device that executes deformation of an image. A candidate area setting unit sets candidate areas, each of which includes a specific image, on a target image used as a target for a deformation process. An exclusion determination unit, when there is a candidate area that partially extends off a cropped image that is clipped from the target image through predetermined cropping, excludes the candidate area, which at least partially extends off the cropped image, from the target for the deformation process. A deformation processing unit performs deformation of an image on the candidate areas other than the excluded candidate areas.
1. An image processing device that executes deformation of an image, comprising:
a candidate area setting unit that sets candidate areas, each of which includes a specific image, on a target image used as a target for a deformation process;
an exclusion determination unit that, when there is a candidate area that partially extends off a cropped image that is clipped from the target image through predetermined cropping, excludes the candidate area that partially extends off the cropped image from the target for the deformation process; and
a deformation processing unit that performs deformation of an image on candidate areas other than the excluded candidate areas,
wherein the exclusion determination unit, when there are candidate areas of which top sides of the specific images are different from each other, excludes a candidate area, other than candidate areas of which the top side of the specific image is oriented in a direction in which a number of candidate areas having the specific images of which the top sides are oriented in a same direction is maximal, from the target for the deformation process.
2. The image processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the exclusion determination unit, when there are a plurality of directions in which the number of candidate areas of which the top sides are substantially oriented in the same direction is maximal, excludes a candidate area, other than the candidate areas of which the top side of each specific image is oriented in a direction, in which the candidate areas having the maximum-size specific image is/are oriented, among the plurality of directions, form the target for the deformation process.
3. The image processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the exclusion determination unit, when there are a plurality of directions in which the number of candidate areas of which the top side is substantially oriented in the same direction is maximal, excludes a candidate area, other than the candidate areas of which the top side of each specific image is oriented in one direction that is selected from among the plurality of directions in accordance with a predetermined order of priority, from the target for the deformation process.
