ABSTRACT:
An object of the present invention is to separate in real time a captured image into a foreground component image and a background component image. An image captured by an image-capturing unit74is separated into a foreground component image and a background component image, which are stored in an image storage unit72. A billing processor75performs billing processing to charge fees for separating the image. A separating portion91performs motion-blur processing of the separated foreground component image and outputs the processed foreground component image and the background component image to a synthesizer92. The synthesizer92combines the input motion-blur-processed foreground component image and the separated background component image to synthesize an image and displays the synthesized image on a display unit73. The present invention is applicable to a camera terminal device.
