Abstract
An image processing apparatus includes a first detecting unit configured to detect an object in an image; a determining unit configured to determine a moving direction of the object detected by the first detecting unit; and a second detecting unit configured to perform detection processing of detecting whether the object detected by the first detecting unit is a specific object on the basis of the moving direction of the object determined by the first determining unit.
Claims9
A control apparatus for controlling a detection processing for detecting a specific object in a moving image captured by an image sensing unit, comprising:
- a memory;
- at least one processor coupled to the memory which executes the following:
- detecting a plurality of moving objects in the moving image;
- determining a moving direction of the detected moving object in the moving image;
- and
- setting a higher priority to a detected moving object of which a moving direction is from a upper side to a lower side of the moving image compared to other detected moving objects from the detected plurality of moving objects, the higher priority being for performing a processing to detect whether the detected moving object of which a moving direction is from a upper side to a lower side of the moving image is specific objects.

A computer-readable recording medium holding a program for instructing a computer to perform the steps of:
- detecting a plurality of moving objects in the moving image;
- determining a moving direction of the detected moving object in the moving image;
- and
- setting a higher priority to a detected moving object of which a moving direction is from a upper side to a lower side of the moving image compared to other detected moving objects from the detected plurality of moving objects, the higher priority being for performing a processing to detect whether the detected moving object of which a moving direction is from a upper side to a lower side of the moving image is specific objects.
