PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce the amount of operation required for template matching. SOLUTION: A reference information about an image to be tracked is memorized (Fig. 5 (b)). A subject field image of a subject field is image-formed by an image forming optical system, and the image-formed subject field image is repeatedly captured. A partial image is part of the subject field image (Fig. 5 (a)), and the partial image is segmented (Fig. 5 (c)-(e)). The partial image is divided so that a region corresponding to a plurality of pixels may become one block in the partial image (Fig. 5 (c)-(e)). An image information on at least one of color information and brightness information is computed for every block. Based on the image information and the reference information for every block, the position for tracking is detected in the subject field image. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT |
