ABSTRACT:
An image processing apparatus which processes an input image to detect a specified object of interest that is recorded in the input image is provided. The apparatus has a detection unit and a position determining unit. The detection unit has a plurality of identifying subunits each of which identifies an object from the input image under a different condition. The detection unit detects a region of the identified object. The position determining unit calculates the position coordinates of the object of interest in the input image from the region of the identified object. The detection unit performs the identification and the detection repeatedly and the detection unit performs the identification and the detection by using a detected region of an identified object in the previous identification. The detection unit detects the specified object of interest using the repeatedly detected regions.
