Claim Text:
1. An image processing device comprising: a processor which executes a program to perform processing including: segmentation processing which, when foreground pixels determined to be a foreground, background pixels determined to be a background, and undetermined pixels that remain undetermined as to whether they are a foreground or a background are designated in an image, further segments the undetermined pixels into foreground pixels and background pixels based on designation information; segment information acquisition processing which acquires segment information that is information for a case in which a first image is segmented into foreground pixels and background pixels by the segmentation processing; and segmentation control processing which, when controlling the segmentation processing to segment a second image having a predetermined relationship with the first image, specifies foreground pixels, background pixels, and undetermined pixels of the second image in the image, by using the segment information acquired by the segment information acquisition processing, wherein the segmentation control processing determines an area in which a predetermined width in accordance with the relationship between the first image and the second image is provided for a boundary line between the foreground pixels and the background pixels determined by the segment information, specifies an area in the second image corresponding to the determined area as undetermined pixels, and controls the segmentation processing to segment the second image.
