Image processing apparatus, image processing apparatus control method, and non-transitory computer-readable storage medium

An image processing apparatus comprising:

• one or more processors;
• a memory;
• and
• a program stored in the memory which, when executed by the one or more processors, causes the one or more processors to perform:
• detecting a foreground object in a captured image obtained by an imaging unit;
• superimposing, on a predetermined image, a first image formed by anonymizing a region of the foreground object, and a second image formed by anonymizing a region designated by a user on the captured image;
• and
• controlling a display unit to display an output image from the superimposing,
• wherein an appearance of the second image is different from an appearance of the first image, and
• if the foreground object is detected in the region designated by a user and the second image is superimposed on the predetermined image in the superimposing, the first image is not displayed on the output image displayed on the display unit in the controlling and the second image is displayed on the output image displayed on the display unit in the controlling.

An image processing apparatus control method comprising:

• detecting a foreground object in a captured image obtained by an imaging unit;
• superimposing, on a predetermined image, a first image formed by anonymizing a region of the foreground object, and a second image formed by anonymizing a region designated by a user on the captured image obtained by the imaging unit;
• and
• controlling a display unit to display an output image from the superimposing,
• wherein an appearance of the second image is different from an appearance of the first image, and
• if the foreground object is detected in the region designated by a user and the second image is superimposed on the predetermined image in the superimposing, the first image is not displayed on the output image displayed on the display unit in the controlling and the second image is displayed on the output image displayed on the display unit in the controlling.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing one or more program including instructions that, when executed by a processor of an image processing apparatus, causes the processor to perform operations of:

• detecting a foreground object in a captured image obtained by an imaging unit;
• superimposing, on a predetermined image, a first image formed by anonymizing a region of the foreground object, and a second image formed by anonymizing a region designated by a user on the captured image obtained by the imaging unit;
• and
• controlling a display unit to display an output image from the superimposing,
• wherein an appearance of the second image is different from an appearance of the first image, and
• if the foreground object is detected in the region designated by a user and the second image is superimposed on the predetermined image in the superimposing, the first image is not displayed on the output image displayed on the display unit in the controlling and the second image is displayed on the output image displayed on the display unit in the controlling.
