Abstract
An image processing apparatus includes an input unit that inputs an image, a detection unit that detects an object from the image input by the input unit, and an image determination unit that determines, based on a result of detection of the object performed by the detection unit on the image input by the input unit a reference image that is to be displayed on a display screen allowing a user to specify an image processing region.
Claims16
An image processing apparatus comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- at least one memory storing executable instructions, which when executed by the one or more processors, cause the image processing apparatus to:
- obtain an image captured by an image capturing unit;
- determine a reference image based on one or more images captured by the image capturing unit in the past, wherein the reference image is used by a user to set an object detection area or a detection line, the reference image including an object image corresponding to an object detected from the one or more images captured by the image capturing unit;
- display the reference image on a display screen;
- receive a user input based on a user operation setting an object detection area on a detection line or the reference image displayed on the display screen;
- and
- detect an object in the object detection area or an object that has passed over the detection line in the image captured by the image capturing unit.
An image processing method comprising:
- obtaining an image captured by an image capturing unit;
- determining a reference image based on one or more images captured by the image capturing unit in the past, wherein the reference image is used by a user to set an object detection area or a detection line, the reference image including an object image corresponding to an object detected from the one or more images captured by the image capturing unit;
- displaying the reference image on a display screen;
- receiving a user input based on a user operation setting an object detection area or a detection line on the reference image displayed on the display screen;
- and
- detecting an object in the object detection area or an object that has passed over the detection line in the image captured by the image capturing unit.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing computer executable instructions that, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to perform a method comprising:
- obtaining an image captured by an image capturing unit;
- determining a reference image based on one or more images captured by the image capturing unit in the past, wherein the reference image is used by a user to set an object detection area or a detection line, the reference image including an object image corresponding to an object detected from the one or more images captured by the image capturing unit;
- displaying the reference image on a display screen;
- receiving a user input based on a user operation setting an object detection area or a detection line on the reference image displayed on the display screen;
- and
- detecting an object in the object detection area or an object that has passed over the detection line in the image captured by the image capturing unit.
