<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and a device, for obtaining information related to a change such as motion of an imaging subject from an imaged image, and classifying a pattern of the change in the image in parallel with imaging. <P>SOLUTION: This method for classifying the pattern of the change in a plurality of images obtained by imaging a subject has: a plurality of imaging means capable of imaging the motionable subject; a storage means at least recording image information obtained by the imaging means; and an arithmetic means at least analyzing the image information obtained by the imaging means. In the method, the subject is continuously imaged by the imaging means, a change amount of the image information generated during an imaging unit time is found from a difference of the continuously imaged image information, and the classification is performed with the change pattern inside a prescribed target time from present time as a variable (for example, by use of cluster analysis), so that the image information inside the prescribed time from the present time is classified nearly in real time. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT |
