<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To efficiently detect a subject and reduce omissions of detection. <P>SOLUTION: An image processing apparatus includes an image input means configured to input an image, a scanning means configured to scan a detection window on the input image, and a discrimination means configured to calculate subject reliability concerning whether or not a pattern within the detection window is the subject based on a plurality of characteristic amounts obtained from within a first region of a plurality of regions in the detection window, and to determine that the pattern is the subject if the subject reliability is equal to or greater than a threshold value, or to determine whether or not the pattern is the subject based on the plurality of characteristic amounts obtained from within a second region of the plurality of regions if the subject reliability is below the threshold value. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT</p> |
