Image processing apparatus, image processing method, and storage medium

An image processing method comprising:

• acquiring an image frame of a moving image captured by an image capturing unit;
• performing moving object detection processing for detecting a moving object from the acquired image frame;
• and
• encoding the acquired image frame, based on a result of the moving object detection processing,
• wherein, in the encoding, a changed region, which is a region changed from a moving-object region obtained on the basis of a result of the moving object detection processing in an image frame preceding an image frame to be encoded, to a non-moving-object region in the image frame to be encoded, is encoded using encoding control or an encoding parameter different from encoding control or an encoding parameter for other non-moving-object region.

A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing a program for causing the computer to function as:

• an image acquisition unit configured to acquire an image frame of a moving image captured by an image capturing unit;
• a moving object detection unit configured to perform moving object detection processing for detecting a moving object from the image frame acquired by the image acquisition unit;
• and
• an encoding unit configured to encode the image frame acquired by the image acquisition unit based on a result of the moving object detection processing performed by the moving object detection unit,
• wherein the encoding unit encodes a changed region, which is a region changed from a moving-object region obtained on the basis of a result of the moving object detection processing in an image frame preceding an image frame to be encoded, to a non-moving-object region in the image frame to be encoded, by using encoding control or an encoding parameter different from encoding control or an encoding parameter for other non-moving-object region.
