Image processing device, server, and storage medium

A server comprising:

• a communication unit configured to receive an image picked up by use of a certain imaging parameter and the imaging parameter from an external device;
• an extraction unit configured to extract an object from the image received by the communication unit;
• a ranging unit configured to acquire distance information indicating a distance between an image pickup unit that has picked up the image and the object that has been imaged;
• a record control unit configured to record an object image showing the object extracted by the extraction unit from a first image received by the communication unit in a memory unit in association with object attribute information containing the distance information and the certain imaging parameter, the distance information being acquired by the ranging unit from the first image;
• and
• a composition unit configured to combine the object image recorded in the memory nit with the image received by the communication unit,
• wherein, on the basis of the object attribute information containing the distance information acquired by the ranging unit from a second image that is different from the first image received by the communication unit and the certain imaging parameter, the record control unit searches the memory unit for the object image showing the object extracted from the first image, the object image corresponding to the object extracted by the extraction unit from the second image, as an object candidate image,
• wherein the composition unit generates a composite image in which the object candidate image found by the record control unit is combined in a region of the object included in the second image, and
• wherein the communication unit transmits the composite image combined by the composition unit to the external device.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having a program stored therein, the program causing a computer to execute:

• extracting an object from an image picked up by use of a certain imaging parameter;
• acquiring distance information indicating a distance between an image pickup unit that has picked up the image and the object that has been imaged;
• transmitting an object image showing the object extracted from a first image to an external device in association with object attribute information containing the distance information and the certain imaging parameter, the distance information being acquired from the first image;
• transmitting a second image that is different from the first image to the external device;
• receiving the object image showing the object extracted from the first image, the object image corresponding to the object included in the second image, from the external device as an object candidate image;
• and
• combining the received object candidate image in a region of the object included in the second image.

• generating a composite image in which the found object candidate image is combined in a region of the object included in the second image;
• and
• transmitting the generated composite image to the external device.
