An image processing device comprises: plane conversion means which
receives a subject image in which a subject having a particular shape has
been captured and shape information about three-dimensional shape of the
subject from the outside and converts the subject image into a plane
image in which the subject is viewed from a prescribed direction based on
the shape information; and in-plane position detection means which
recognizes a subject area in the plane image as an area representing the
subject and determines a position of the subject in the plane image.
