IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD, AND APPARATUS THEREFOR

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image processing method in which a plurality of participants can communicate by sharing one composite image.

SOLUTION: A composite image is obtained by receiving a first image and an additional information which discriminates whether the first image is a captured image or a reference image from a first terminal; storing the first image as a storage reference image when the first image is the reference image; detecting a difference part between the storage reference image and the first image when the first image is the captured image; calculating the difference part as an object area image of the first image; and superimposing a second image received from a second terminal among a plurality of terminals or an input image captured by photographing means of an own terminal on the object area image.
