Problems solved by technology

[0017] However, when performing target detection by template matching, since pixel data such as luminance signals and color difference signals are used as input processing, when processing images compressed and encoded by MPEG, etc., template matching processing must be performed for each frame after decoding processing. There is a problem with high processing volume

Abstract

Image processing method and its device. A domain of an object detected by template matching is tracked in accordance with information on a motion vector that is included in compressed and encoded data. This feature eliminates template matching-based object detection when it comes to a motion vector information-containing image subject to object detection. As a result, object detection is achievable with a less amount of processing, when compared with the template matching-based detection of objects in all images subject to object detection.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an image processing method and apparatus for detecting a target (object) from an input image. Background technique [0002] Conventionally, a technique of registering a template image in advance, performing pattern matching between the input image and the template image, and detecting the position of an image similar to the template image in the input image is well known. [0003] However, regardless of the background of an image similar to the template image, misrecognition is likely to occur. A technique to solve this problem is disclosed in JP-A-5-28273. Among them, the similarity value between the template image and the image corresponding to the template image is defined by the following formula. [0004] 【Formula 1】 [0005] σ S 0 = 1 MN Σ i ...
