Image processing device for dividing an image into a plurality of regions
First Claim
1. An image processing device configured to divide an image imaged by imaging means into a plurality of regions, said image processing device comprising:
- processing means configured to group, in a case that a difference of pieces of image data between a single pixel within said image and a pixel adjacent thereto is less than a predetermined first threshold, said single pixel and said adjacent pixel, and to divide said image into a plurality of regions with finally obtained each group as each region of said image; and
average-value calculating means configured to calculate an average value of said image data within said group including said single pixel;
wherein said processing means compares the image data of said single pixel, and an average value calculated at said average-value calculating means regarding said group to which said adjacent pixel belongs to, andwherein in a case that the difference thereof is equal to or greater than a predetermined second threshold, do not group said single pixel and said adjacent pixel.

Abstract
An image processing device for dividing an image imaged by imaging means into multiple regions includes: processing means for grouping, when difference of the pieces of image data between a single pixel within the image and a pixel adjacent thereto is less than a predetermined threshold, the single pixel and the adjacent pixel, and dividing the image into multiple regions with finally obtained each group as each region of the image; and average-value calculating means for calculating the average value of the image data within the group including the single pixel; with the processing means comparing the image data of the single pixel, and the average value calculated at the average-value calculating means regarding the group to which the adjacent pixel belongs; and when the difference thereof is equal to or greater than a predetermined second threshold, doing not group the single pixel and the adjacent pixel.
