ABSTRACT:
An image processing apparatus detects a contour of an object from a sequence of images. The images include a first image containing the object and subsequent images containing the object. The apparatus includes a first contour detection unit and a second contour detection unit. The first contour detection unit detects contour points which determine the contour of the object of the first image, when the first image and points near boundary locations of the object of the first image are specified by a user. The second contour detection unit detects contour points of one of the subsequent images based on the contour points detected by the first contour detection unit, so that object-contour data with respect to one of the subsequent images is determined.
