ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for judging the order and time of arrival of moving objects such as racers at a judgement criterion line such as a goal line in a race, using color image pickup. A camera which includes a color linear image sensor which in turn includes G, B and R or complementary color filters and a one-dimensional array of a plurality of opto-electric conversion elements picks up the images of the moving objects which pass the judgement criterion line to produce Y, Pb, Pr signals or G, B, R color signals, records those signals successively into a memory of an image processor, selects a desired image through a controller, reads the memory, and displays the obtained data on a color video monitor to accurately discriminate the respective racers.
