Abstract:
1. An image processing device comprising: a principal partial image selector configured to select a principal partial image from a plurality of partial images that constitute an original image; a peripheral partial image selector configured to select a peripheral partial image, which is disposed peripherally to the principal partial image in the original image and satisfies a pre-specified condition; and a generator configured to generate output image data, in which the principal partial image and the peripheral partial image are placed so as to preserve a positional relationship thereof in the original image, the generator first reducing the peripheral partial image using a first scaling factor depending on conditions related to the peripheral partial image, and the generator thereafter reducing the principal partial image using a second scaling factor depending on conditions related to the principal partial image so that the principal partial image and the peripheral partial image are accommodated in output dimensions, a difference between the respective scaling factors being within a pre-specified range.
