Image processing apparatus, image processing method, and image processing program

An image processing method, comprising:

• sequentially acquiring plural subject images;
• selecting a detection target image from the plural subject images;
• detecting a location of interest in the detection target image;
• generating spatial information of a superimposed object, the superimposed object being to be superimposed on any of the plural subject images and to indicate the location of interest;
• selecting a superimposition target image from the plural subject images, the superimposition target image being a target on which the superimposed object is to be superimposed;
• generating inter-image correspondence information between the detection target image and the superimposition target image;
• correcting the spatial information of the superimposed object, based on the inter-image correspondence information;
• and
• superimposing the superimposed object on the superimposition target image, the superimposition target image having the corrected spatial information,
• wherein
• the selecting the superimposition target image, the generating the inter-image correspondence information, the correcting the spatial information, and the superimposing the superimposed object are repeatedly executed, until the spatial information of the superimposed object is generated for the detection target image.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing an image processing program that causes a computer to execute a process, the process comprising:

• sequentially acquiring plural subject images;
• selecting a detection target image from the plural subject images;
• detecting a location of interest in the detection target image;
• generating spatial information of a superimposed object, the superimposed object being to be superimposed on any of the plural subject images and to indicate the location of interest;
• selecting a superimposition target image from the plural subject images, the plural subject images being a target on which the superimposed object is to be superimposed;
• generating inter-image correspondence information between the detection target image and the superimposition target image;
• correcting the spatial information of the superimposed object, based on the inter-image correspondence information;
• and
• superimposing the superimposed object on the superimposition target image, the superimposed object having the corrected spatial information,
• wherein
• the selecting the superimposition target image, the generating the inter-image correspondence information, the correcting the spatial information, and the superimposing the superimposed object are repeatedly executed, until the spatial information of the superimposed object is generated for the detection target image.
