Abstract
A domain of an object detected by template matching is tracked in accordance with information on a motion vector that is included in compressed and encoded data. This feature eliminates template matching-based object detection when it comes to a motion vector information-containing image subject to object detection. As a result, object detection is achievable with a less amount of processing, when compared with the template matching-based detection of objects in all images subject to object detection.
Claims10
An image-processing method designed for object detection in a moving image, comprising
- detecting an object by matching a template image with an image subject to object detection;
- and
- determining an amount of displacement of the detected object in accordance with information on a motion vector of an encoded moving image, the detected object being the object detected by said detecting the object by matching the template image with the image subject to object detection.
An image-processing method comprising:
- detecting any object in a moving image;
- editing said moving image in accordance with information on a position of said detected object;
- composing the edited moving image with another moving image;
- and
- encoding and compressing the composed image.
An image processor designed for object detection in a moving image, comprising:
- an object-detecting unit operable to detect an object by matching a template image with an image subject to object detection;
- and
- an displacement amount-detecting unit operable to determine an amount of displacement of the detected object in accordance with information on a motion vector of an encoded moving image, the detected object being the object detected by said object-detecting unit.
