Abstract
An image processing method for extracting a characteristic amount of a photographed image from the photographed image obtained by photographing an object, comprises a passing through deleting step of deleting a passing through area from the photographed image, a preparing step of preparing a projection from the image from which the passing through area is deleted, and a setting step of setting a characteristic area of said photographed image based on a result of the projection.
Claims21
An image processing method for extracting a characteristic amount of a photographed image from the photographed image obtained by photographing an object, comprising:
- a passing through deleting step of deleting a passing through area from said photographed image;
- a preparing step of preparing a projection from the image from which said passing through area is deleted;
- and
- a setting step of setting a characteristic area of said photographed image based on a result of said projection.
An image processing method for extracting a characteristic amount of a photographed image from the photographed image obtained by photographing an object, comprising:
- a preparing step of preparing an outside outline of said object from said photographed image;
- a first setting step of setting a characteristic area of said photographed image from said outside outline;
- an analyzing step of analyzing a density distribution of said photographed image;
- a second setting step of setting the characteristic area of said photographed image from said density distribution;
- and
- a third setting step of setting the characteristic area in said photographed image based on a result of said first setting step and/or a result of said second setting step.
An image processing method for extracting a characteristic amount of a photographed image from the photographed image obtained by photographing an object, comprising:
- a passing through deleting step of deleting a passing through area from said photographed image;
- a calculating step of calculating an average pixel value of a predetermined axis direction from the image from which said passing through area is deleted;
- and
- a setting step of setting a characteristic area of said photographed image based on a shape of a result of said calculating step.
An image processing apparatus for extracting a characteristic amount of a photographed image from the photographed image obtained by photographing an object, comprising:
- passing through deleting means for deleting a passing through area from said photographed image;
- preparing means for preparing a projection from the image from which said passing through area is deleted;
- and
- setting means for setting a characteristic area of said photographed image based on a result of said projection.
An image processing apparatus for extracting a characteristic amount of a photographed image from the photographed image obtained by photographing an object, comprising:
- preparing means for preparing an outside outline of said object from said photographed image;
- first setting means for setting a characteristic area of said photographed image from said outside outline;
- analyzing means for analyzing a density distribution of said photographed image;
- second setting means for setting the characteristic area of said photographed image from said density distribution;
- and
- third setting means for setting the characteristic area in said photographed image based on a result of said first setting means and/or a result of said second setting means.
An image processing apparatus for extracting a characteristic amount of a photographed image from the photographed image obtained by photographing an object, comprising:
- passing through deleting means for deleting a passing through area from said photographed image;
- calculating means for calculating an average pixel value of a predetermined axis direction from the image from which said passing through area is deleted;
- and
- setting means for setting a characteristic area of said photographed image based on a shape of a result of said calculating means.
A recording medium for storing an image processing program for extracting a characteristic amount of a photographed image from the photographed image obtained by photographing an object, said program comprising:
- a passing through deleting step of deleting a passing through area from said photographed image;
- a preparing step of preparing a projection from the image from which said passing through area is deleted;
- and
- a setting step of setting a characteristic area of said photographed image based on a result of said projection.
A recording medium for storing an image processing program for extracting a characteristic amount of a photographed image from the photographed image obtained by photographing an object, said program comprising:
- a preparing step of preparing an outside outline of said object from said photographed image;
- a first setting step of setting a characteristic area of said photographed image from said outside outline;
- an analyzing step of analyzing a density distribution of said photographed image;
- a second setting step of setting the characteristic area of said photographed image from said density distribution;
- and
- a third setting step of setting the characteristic area in said photographed image based on a result of said first setting step and/or a result of said second setting step.
A recording medium for storing an image processing program for extracting a characteristic amount of a photographed image from the photographed image obtained by photographing an object, said program comprising:
- a passing through deleting step of deleting a passing through area from said photographed image;
- a calculating step of calculating an average pixel value of a predetermined axis direction from the image from which said passing through area is deleted;
- and
- a setting step of setting a characteristic area of said photographed image based on a shape of a result of said calculating step.
