ABSTRACT:
A method for detecting a linear image in a planar picture is provided whereby the positions of a linear image can be determined by devising suitable processing of image data, even if a linear image traced by a moving object, such as space debris, a meteor, or the like, does not appear clearly on a picture. Image data processing, consisting of division processing (S2) for dividing image data of a planar picture captured by an imaging element into a plurality of mutually parallel columnar image data and representative value selection processing (S3) for taking the median value determined for each of the columnar image data as a representative value for the corresponding columnar image data, is performed in every direction of said planar picture, whereupon analysis processing consisting of significant value detection processing (S6) for detecting whether or not said representative value of each of said columnar image data is a significant value, and linear image position identification processing (S7) for identifying the linear position of columnar image data having a representative value indicating a significant value as the position of a linear image resulting from the passage of the moving object or the like, is performed.
