Abstract
An apparatus includes an extract unit configured to extract features of a first image based on an electromagnetic wave in a first frequency band, an acquire unit configured to acquire motion information about the features, a classify unit configured to classify the features into a first group and a second group based on the motion information, and a remove unit configured to remove, from the first image, a signal corresponding to the feature belonging to the first group.
Claims27
An apparatus comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory coupled to the processor storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to function as:
- a first extract unit configured to extract features of a first image based on an electromagnetic wave in a first frequency band, wherein the first image includes a signal based on a concealed object and a signal based on an object, the signals based on the concealed object and the object having been outputted by irradiating the object with the concealed object with the electromagnetic wave and being superimposed;
- a first acquire unit configured to acquire motion information about the features of the first image;
- a classify unit configured to classify the features of the first image into a first group and a second group based on the motion information;
- and
- a remove unit configured to remove, from the first image, a signal corresponding to a feature of the first image that belongs to the first group.
A method comprising:
- extracting features of a first image based on an electromagnetic wave in a first frequency band, wherein the first image includes a signal based on a concealed object and a signal based on an object, the signals based on the concealed object and the object having been outputted by irradiating the object with the concealed object with the electromagnetic wave and being superimposed;
- acquiring motion information about the features of the first image;
- classifying the features of the first image into a first group and a second group based on the motion information;
- and
- removing, from the first image, a signal corresponding to a feature of the first image that belongs to the first group.
A computer-readable storage medium storing a program for causing a computer to execute a method, the method comprising:
- extracting features of a first image based on an electromagnetic wave in a first frequency band, wherein the first image includes a signal based on a concealed object and a signal based on an object, the signals based on the concealed object and the object having been outputted by irradiating the object with the concealed object with the electromagnetic wave and being superimposed;
- acquiring motion information about the features of the first image;
- classifying the features of the first image into a first group and a second group based on the motion information;
- and
- removing, from the first image, a signal corresponding to a feature of the first image that belongs to the first group.
An apparatus comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory coupled to the processor storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to function as:
- a first extract unit configured to extract features of a first image based on an electromagnetic wave in a first frequency band;
- a first acquire unit configured to acquire motion information about the features of the first image;
- a classify unit configured to classify the features of the first image into a first group and a second group based on the motion information;
- a remove unit configured to remove, from the first image, a signal corresponding to a feature of the first image that belongs to the first group;
- a second unit configured to extract features of a second image based on visible light in a second frequency band;
- and
- a third acquire unit configured to acquire motion information about the features of the second image.
