IMAGE CAPTURING APPARATUS AND IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD

摘要

An image processing apparatus includes a plurality of correlation processing units configured to perform correlation relating to search evaluation in parallel, a plurality of search frame processing units configured to clip from an input image a partial image to be input to the plurality of correlation processing units according to a designated processing frame, and a search frame determination unit configured to determine the arrangement of the processing frame in a vertical direction based on the number of correlation processing units and the size of the processing frame in the vertical direction. The arrangement of the processing frame in the vertical direction is determined such that the product of an interval between the processing frames in the vertical direction and the number of correlation processing units is equal to or larger than the size of the processing frame in the vertical direction.

1. An image processing apparatus configured to identify a region comprising a predetermined object located within an image, the image processing apparatus comprising:
a reading unit configured to read a partial image of a first image as a second image on each of a plurality of evaluation target regions set in a predetermined direction of the first image; an evaluation unit configured to perform a correction evaluation with the image of the predetermined object on the plurality of the second images in parallel; a determination unit configured to determine an interval (VS) between the plurality of evaluation target regions based on a number (N) of correlation evaluations performed in parallel by the evaluation unit and to determine a size (WV) of the plurality of evaluation target regions in the predetermined direction; and an identification unit configured to identify the region where the predetermined object is located within the first image based on a result of the correlation evaluation performed by the evaluation unit.
