<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image processor in which the volume of the code of image data picked up with different imaging magnifications can be reduced efficiently without missing a frame. <P>SOLUTION: In the image processor for encoding a first image picked up at a specified imaging magnification and a second image picked up at a higher imaging magnification, a background image generating section 112 generates a second background image from a first background image generated at an image generating section 111 and a first object image generated at an object extracting section 113, and an object extracting section 114 generates a second object image. The first and the second background images and the first and the second object images thus generated are encoded at background image encoding sections 116 and 117 and arbitrary shape encoding sections 118 and 119, respectively. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO |
