    Abstract: A corresponding region movement amount calculation unit calculates the amount of movement of each of a plurality of corresponding characteristic regions between a reference image and a base image. A clustering processing unit groups one or more characteristic regions exhibiting a substantially identical tendency in the calculated amounts of movement as belonging to a plane group located on the same plane, and classifies the plurality of characteristic regions in one or more plane groups. A projection transform matrix calculation unit calculates one or more projection transform matrices, by using the amounts of movement of the characteristic regions and the result of the grouping performed by the clustering processing unit.
