ABSTRACT:
An image processor is provided which utilizes images taken by an imaging device, e.g., a digital camera, as an input interface to enter commands, etc. Such image processor includes a memory operable to store an image from a series of real time images of a location captured by an imaging device over time, the stored image at least partially including a target that is subject to movement from one point in the time to another point in the time. The image processor further includes a detector operable to detect the target and a movement component thereof by detecting features of the captured images at different points in the time, and includes an image generator operable to generate an object image representing a predetermined object so that a color of a predetermined portion of the object image varies according to the detected movement component of the target. Such image generator is further operable to generate a combined image from the object image and the stored image and to output in real time a signal representing the combined image, to permit the combined image to be displayed to the location imaged by the imaging device.
