摘要

A point at a position near the contour of a desired object in an image being processed is designated, and a boundary point on the contour of the object is detected on the basis of the designation. From the detected boundary point, other points on the object-contour are subsequently detected to detect the object-contour. When the object-contour has been detected, either the inside or the outside of the object-contour is uniformly filled with prescribed image data, so as to extract the object from the image. Extracted image data resulting from the extraction is output. The extracted image data may include mask data indicating the color mixing ratio at a boundary portion between the object and the background thereof so that color adjustment or image composition can be performed using the mask data.
