IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS AND METHOD AND IMAGE PICKUP APPARATUS

摘要

An image processing apparatus capable of coping with mixture of a background image and a moving object image. A region identification block (103), in accordance with an input image, identifies a mixed region where a foreground object component constituting a foreground object and a background object component constituting a background object are mixed and a non−mixed region where only one of the foreground region composed of a foreground object component and the background region composed of a background object component is present, and outputs region information in accordance with the identification result. A region processing block (5001) processes an input image for each of the regions identified by the region information. The present invention can be applied to an image processing apparatus for processing an image.
