Abstract
An image processing system includes: a possibility determination unit that determines whether there is a possibility that an obstacle is shown in an image acquired by an image acquisition device of a vehicle; a transmitting unit that transmits, from the vehicle, image information of the acquired image if it has been determined that there is a possibility that an obstacle is shown therein; a receiving unit that receives the image information from vehicles; a processing unit that performs image processing to identify an obstacle shown in the acquired image; and a duplication determination unit that determines whether or not an identified obstacle, which has been identified in a previous acquired image, is shown in a subsequent acquired image received by the receiving unit, wherein the processing unit performs the image processing on the subsequent acquired image if the subsequent acquired image has been determined to not show the identified obstacle.
