ABSTRACT:
An object extraction device. In an exemplary embodiment, a first object extraction calculating device finds an object extraction image by employing object extraction calculations for extraction of an object by using a predetermined first calculation parameter on photographed images having a parallax with respect to the object. An incorrect outline extraction processor extracts an outline from the object extraction image and extracts an incorrect outline segment from the extracted outline. A recalculated region determining device determines as a recalculated region a partial region that includes the incorrect outline segment. A second object extraction calculating device finds a re-extracted image that includes an object extraction image of the recalculated region, by carrying out an object extraction calculation in order to eliminate the incorrect outline segment in the recalculated region by using a second calculation parameter that is different from the first calculation parameter on the photographed images.
