To provide a technique for intuitively recognizing a correspondence relationship between an area in an image and annotation information for the area.SOLUTION: An image output apparatus is provided with output control means for superimposing area annotation information including area information representing an area included in an image and annotation information indicating information about the area with the image so as to output the superimposed information. The output control means, when superimposing multiple pieces of area annotation information on the image, superimposes first area annotation information associated with a first area of a first depth in the foreground of second area annotation information associated with a second area of a second depth greater than the first depth.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 8 【課題】画像中の領域と、当該領域に対する注釈情報との対応関係を直感的に認識するための技術を提供する。【解決手段】画像出力装置であって、画像に含まれる領域を表す領域情報と前記領域に関する情報を示す注釈情報とを含む領域注釈情報を、前記画像に重畳して出力する出力制御手段を備え、前記出力制御手段は、前記画像に複数の領域注釈情報を重畳する場合、第１の深度の第１の領域と関連付けられた第１の領域注釈情報を、前記第１の深度よりも深度が大きい第２の深度の第２の領域と関連付けられた第２の領域注釈情報よりも前面に重畳する。【選択図】 図８
