Patent ID: 8582920

Claim:
A presentation device comprising: an image capture portion for capturing an image of a subject and generating a raw image thereof; a detection portion to analyze whether a first marker is present in the raw image, and if the first marker is present in the raw image, to detect an existing position of the first marker within the raw image; a storage portion for storing a positional relationship of a synthesis position at which a mask image for masking at least a portion of the raw image is to be synthesized with the raw image relative to the existing position of the first marker; a synthesized image generation portion to determine the synthesis position according to the positional relationship with the detected existing position, and to synthesize the mask image at the determined synthesis position within the raw image to generate a synthesized image; and an output portion for outputting the synthesized image, wherein the detection portion further analyzes whether a second marker different from the first marker is present in the raw image; and if the second marker is present in the raw image, the synthesized image generation portion executes a process to erase the mask image from the synthesized image.
